To
the
most
Reuerend
Father
in
God
,
my
L.
of
Canturburie
his
Grace
,
Primat
of
England
,
and
of
his
Maiesties
most
Honourable
priuie
Counsell
.
I
Offer
here
vnto
your
Grace
a
kind
of
present
:
which
if
it
be
valued
by
the
greatnes
,
is
but
small
;
if
by
the
goodnesse
either
of
it selfe
,
or
of
my
duetifull
affection
towards
your
Grace
,
is
surely
great
.
Certaine
Sermons
are
they
of
that
reuerend
learned
Father
of
so
worthy
memorie
B.
Iuel
;
which
hauing
receiued
of
a
friend
,
and
reserued
by
me
some
good
time
in
written
hand
(
howbeit
faithfully
written
,
as
I
trust
shal
after
appear
)
I
could
no
longer
,
no
longer
,
I
say
,
could
I
be
either
so
iniurious
,
or
so
enuious
to
the
publike
good
,
as
not
to
publish
them
to
the
glorie
of
God
,
and
benefit
of
his
Church
.
And
if
the
renowned
Orator
Tully
could
not
indure
to
haue
the
least
&
meanest
of
his
painfull
trauells
perish
or
be
lost
,
were
it
but
some
familiar
Epistle
or
letter
,
as
is
apparent
by
that
he
wrote
to
his
friend
Varro
in
the
like
case
:
Etsi
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
erat
illa
epistola
,
Albeit
the
letter
which
Caninius
caused
mee
to
write
(
but
as
I
take
it
,
had
forgotten
to
cal
for
)
were
stale
and
out
of
season
,
yet
haue
I
sithence
deliuered
it
vnto
him
for
thee
:
Quia
nolui
perire
lucubrationem
mean
,
saith
he
.
Norblame
him
pardy
,
for
why
should
so
sweet
a
veine
of
wit
and
eloquence
flow
out
in
vaine
?
Then
what
reason
were
it
that
these
so
many
,
so
learned
,
so
godly
,
so
eloquent
Sermons
of
this
reuerend
Father
&
great
Diuine
;
especially
treating
,
not
as
Tully
doth
,
of
matters
earthly
,
but
heauenly
,
not
of
things
temporal
,
but
eternal
,
not
of
the
Commonwealth
of
the
Romans
,
but
the
sauing
health
of
al
christians
:
I
say
,
what
pity
were
it
that
these
his
so
sundry
&
worthy
labors
,
should
either
be
smothered
vp
in
,
or
buried
in
obliuion
,
or

&
made
common
vnto
many
one
,
for
the
generall
behoofe
of
the
present
age
,
&
so
of
future
posteritie
?
They
are
in
Philosophie
(
as
your
Grace
well
knoweth
)
rules
both
antient

Good

the

the
more

the

Wherfore
not

Let
euery
man
esteeme
vs

euen
for
the
Ministers
and
Stewards
of
the
secrets
of

Now
is
there
no
more
required
of
the
Stewards
,
but
that
they
bee
found
faithfull
.
DEarely
beloued
in
our
Lord
and
Sauior
Iesus
Christ
,
The
people
of
the
citie
of
Corinth
,
to
whome
S.
Paule
wrote
this
Epistle
or
letter
,
were
at
great
strife
,
contention
,
and
variance
among
themselues
,
as
touching
the
Preachers
of
Christs
Gospell
,
and
Ministers
dwelling
among
them
.
For
,
whereas
God
had
sent
them
store
of
Preachers
,
as
Peter
,
Paul
,
Apollo
,
Cephas
,
and
such
other
,
which
were
notable
in
the
ministerie
of
God
;
they
of
these
great
gifts
and
benefits
of
God
,
tooke
occasion
of
strife
,
tooke
(
I
say
)
occasion
of
great
contention
and
debate
among
themselues
.
For
whosoeuer
liked
Peter
best
,
would
say
,
I
hold
of
Peter
;
whosoeuer
thought
Pauls
Doctrine
better
than
Peters
,
would
say
,
I
stand
of
Pauls
side
;
whosoeuer
againe
thought
that
Apollo
excelled
the
rest
,
would
say
,
I
hold
with
Apollo
.
And
thus
of
their
owne
fancies
,
they
tooke
occasion
of
strife
,
&
found
fault
with
the
preaching
of
Christs
Gospell
.
As
for
Peter
,
as
for
Paul
,
as
for
Apollo
,
they
all
preached
one
thing
,
they
taught
one
Doctrine
,
there
was
no
strife
,
no
debate
,
no
dissention
among
them
.
Yet
notwithstanding
,
though
the
Schoolemasters
agréed
,
the
Disciples
and
Schoolers
could
not
bée
at
one
:
though
they
all
preached
one
and
the
same
Doctrine
,
yet
could
not
the
people
fancie
their
Preachers
alike
.
And
therefore
Paul
concluded
before
,
and
said
;
Let
no
man
reioyce
in
men
,
for
all
is
yours
,
whether
it
bee
Paule
,
or
Apollo
,
whether
it
bee
Cephas
or
the
world
,
all
is
yours
.
And
hereupon
followed
these
words
of
his
,
that
you
heard
read
vnto
you
.
As
for
vs
(
saith
Saint
Paule
)
esteeme
vs
as
the
Ministers
of
Christ
:
whatsoeuer
they
bee
that
Preach
vnto
you
the
Gospell
of
GOD
,
regard
them
as
the
Stewards
of
the
secrets
of
God
.
So
it
happeneth
oftentimes
that
either
the
people
iudge
too
much
of
the
Preachers
of
Gods
word
,
or
else
they
iudge
too
little
:
Sometime
they
attribute
vnto
them
too
much
honour
,
sometime
againe
they
giue
them
too
little
honour
:
Sometime
they
credit
them
too
much
,
sometime
they
beléeue
them
nothing
at
all
.
So
are
the
people
alwaies
inconstant
,
so
are
they
mooued
on
either
side
.
When
Paule
and
Barnabas
at
Listra
began
to
Mercurius
;
Barnabas
,
Iupiter
.
This
was
too
great
an
honour
.
And
therefore
when
Paule
and
Barnabas
vnderstood
the
same
,
they
rent
their
clothes
,
tore
their
owne
garments
,
run
in
among
the
people
,
cried
out
and
said
:
Yee
men
and
brethren
,
why
doe
yee
this
?
So
likewise
Peter
being
appointed
by
God
to
goe
to
Cornelius
the
Captaine
,
When
Christ
in
our
nature
began
first
to
preach
,
and
set
abroad
his
fathers
will
,
and
the
glad
tydings
of
the
Gospell
,
the
people
forthwith
found
fault
with
him
;
he
is
,
said
they
,
but
a
Carpenters
son
,
Medes
,
Persians
,
and
they
of
Mesopotamia
;
yet
said
the
people
,
these
men
are
full
of
new
wine
.
And
this
was
too
little
honour
.
Therefore
if
the
Preacher
bée
too
much
honoured
,
then
is
God
dishonoured
:
if
hee
bee
despised
and
nothing
set
by
,
then
is
Christ
himselfe
despised
,
and
not
regarded
.
They
that
said
Christ
was
a
Carpenters
sonne
,
a
man
vnlearned
,
and
such
a
one
as
neuer
went
to
schoole
:
they
that
said
the
Apostles
of
Christ
were
full
of
new
wine
,
spake
not
this
of
any
priuate
malice
or
hatered
that
they
bare
either
vnto
Christ
,
or
his
Apostles
,
but
onely
to
bring
Gods
word
to
shame
,
only
to
bring
Christs
holy
Gospell
out
of
credit
with
the
people
:
this
was
their
entent
and
purpose
,
and
nothing
els
.
Therefore
Saint
Paule
in
this
place
sheweth
the
Corinthians
how
they
should
estéem
the
teachers
of
gods
holy
word
,
how
they
should
thinke
and
iudge
of
them
.
For
the
people
sometime
estéeme
most
a
policicke
man
,
such
a
man
as
by
his
great
wit
is
able
to
conclude
Peace
and
Leagues
betwéene
Princes
,
they
regard
him
that
is
of
stout
courage
and
learned
in
the
Lawes
,
they
set
most
by
him
that
is
eloquent
and
able
to
perswade
;
yea
and
they
regard
him
not
that
is
not
excellently
learned
,
and
séene
in
all
Sciences
:
but
heere
Saint
Paule
sheweth
them
,
that
they
should
not
estéeme
the
Preachers
of
Gods
Gospell
as
men
politicke
,
as
men
of
great
wit
,
as
men
of
stout
courage
,
and
learned
in
the
Law
as
men
eloquent
,
and
excellently
well
séene
in
sciences
:
but
as
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
and
Stewards
of
the
secrets
of
God
.
Thus
should
the
Ministers
of
Christ
bee
estéemed
,
and
thus
ought
the
teachers
of
Gods
word
shew
themselues
,
as
Ministers
of
Christ
,
and
dispensers
of
Gods
secrets
.
And
therefore
saint
Paule
in
another
place
saith
;
We
come
not
to
preach
our selues
,
Hee
that
speaketh
of
himselfe
,
seeketh
his
owne
glorie
,
saith
Christ
.
Quid
Petrus
,
quid
Paulus
,
quid
Apollo
,
nisi
Ministri
?
What
is
Peter
,
what
is
Paule
,
what
is
Apollo
?
thinke
you
them
any
other
than
the
seruants
and
ministers
of
God
?
Paule
hath
planted
,
Apollo
watered
,
but
God
hath
giuen
the
encrease
.
The
encrease
came
not
from
Peter
,
not
from
Paule
,
not
from
Apollo
,
but
from
God
alone
.
Apollo
,
Paule
,
and
Peter
,
are
nothing
els
but
the
ministers
and
seruants
of
God
;
God
is
he
that
giueth
the
encrease
,
God
alone
is
hee
that
giueth
the
encrease
.
When
the
great
Citie
of
Ierusalem
vnderstood
of
Iohn
the
Baptist
,
and
began
to
séeke
vnto
him
,
they
asked
him
,
What
art
thou
?
Hee
answered
them
,
Ego
vox
clamantis
in
deserto
,
Parate
viam
Domini
.
I
am
.
said
hee
,
a
man
not
worthy
to
be
esteemed
,
I
am
but
a
messenger
sent
vnto
you
,
I
am
nothing
els
but
a
voice
to
cry
,
Prepare
you
the
way
of
the
Lord
.
So
Moses
and
Aaron
that
had
the
conducting
of
the
people
of
God
,
when
the
whole
Campe
was
in
a
tumult
and
vprore
,
and
the
people
ran
in
rage
against
them
,
like
to
haue
slaine
them
,
they
stretched
out
their
hands
and
said
,
Non
contra
nos
,
sed
contra
Dominum
,
nam
nos
qui
sumus
?
This
stir
,
this
hurly burly
,
this
tumult
,
that
you
make
is
not
,
said
they
,
against
vs
,
but
against
God
;
for
alas
,
what
are
we
?
we
are
but
Gods
seruants
,
Gods
messengers
,
appointed
to
lead
and
guid
you
.
Thus
therefore
ought
euery
man
estéeme
the
Preachers
of
Gods
gospell
,
as
messengers
,
as
seruants
as
Ministers
of
Christ
,
thus
ought
euery
man
thinke
,
and
iudge
of
them
.
But
what
kind
of
seruant
is
this
Preacher
,
what
manner
of
Minister
is
he
?
Saint
Paul
saith
,
He
is
the
Steward
and
Dispenser
of
Gods
secrets
,
he
setteth
foorth
,
and
sheweth
abroad
the
mysteries
of
his
holy
Gospel
.
And
these
mysteries
that
S.
Paul
here
meaneth
,
(
to
conclude
in
one
word
)
are
none
other
than
the
Articles
of
our
Faith
:
That
Christ
is
the
Sonne
of
God
,
conceiued
by
the
holy
Ghost
,
borne
of
the
virgine
Marie
;
that
he
was
crucified
,
dead
,
buried
,
descended
into
Hell
,
rose
againe
,
and
sitteth
at
the
right
hand
of
his
Father
;
that
by
his
blood
,
our
sinnes
were
washed
away
;
that
our
bodies
shall
at
the
last
day
arise
,
and
we
possesse
eternall
life
.
These
be
the
secrets
,
these
be
the
mysteries
,
that
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
the
seruants
and
Stewards
of
God
,
do
vtter
and
declare
to
Gods
people
:
no
wisdome
of
man
is
able
to
compasse
this
,
no
learning
of
this
world
able
of
it selfe
to
expound
these
hidden
secrets
.
For
saith
Saint
Paul
,
Animalis
homo
non
percipit
ea
quae
sunt
ex
Deo
.
he
vnderstandeth
not
such
things
as
are
of
God
.
It
is
foolishnesse
vnto
him
,
and
he
can
not
perceiue
it
,
for
it
must
be
spiritually
discerned
.
are
such
which
are
not
borne
of
blood
,
nor
of
the
will
of
the
flesh
,
nor
of
the
will
of
man
,
but
of
God
.
When
Christ
had
asked
of
Peter
what
he
thought
of
him
,
and
Peter
had
said
,
Tues
Christus
,
filius
Dei
viui
,
Thou
art
Christ
the
Sonne
of
the
lyuing
God
:
He
answered
,
O
happie
art
thou
Simon
the
Sonne
of
Ionas
,
for
flesh
and
blood
hath
not
opened
that
vnto
thee
,
but
my
Father
that
is
in
Heauen
.
These
mysteries
therefore
are
onely
opened
by
the
spirit
of
God
,
by
Gods
only
working
,
not
by
any
wisdome
of
man
,
not
by
any
cunning
and
great
learning
of
this
world
.
Now
therefore
,
saith
Saint
Paul
,
thinke
thus
of
vs
,
iudge
vs
to
be
the
Ministers
and
seruants
of
God
,
and
marke
well
whether
we
reueal
vnto
you
Gods
mysteries
,
and
his
holie
Gospell
;
Consider
with
your selues
,
and
sée
whether
wée
open
vnto
you
Gods
hidden
Secrets
:
By
this
shall
you
know
,
whether
wée
be
the
seruants
and
dispensers
of
Gods
mysteries
.
But
like
as
in
S.
Pauls
time
,
there
was
dissention
,
strife
,
&
great
debate
,
euen
amongst
the
Christians
,
and
such
as
professed
the
name
of
God
:
So
likewise
in
our
dayes
,
(
good
Bretheren
)
euen
in
the
time
that
wée
our selues
haue
séene
,
there
hath
béen
discord
and
parts-taking
among
vs
.
Some
haue
said
,
I
will
beléeue
the
old
learning
:
some
againe
haue
said
,
I
will
beléeue
the
new
:
some
haue
said
I
will
credit
this
man
:
some
I
will
beléeue
that
man
.
And
thus
the
father
hath
fallen
out
with
the
sonne
,
the
Mother
with
the
daughter
,
the
brother
with
his
brother
,
and
one
neighbor
with
another
;
ech
man
defending
that
part
,
which
he
himselfe
best
liked
.
But
alas
,
(
good
Bretheren
)
this
is
no
new
thing
,
this
hath
béen
from
the
beginning
,
and
euen
in
Christes
time
.
For
at
what
time
Christ
himselfe
walked
here
on
this
earth
,
&
began
to
preach
the
glory
of
his
father
,
some
said
he
was
a
good
man
,
he
had
a
deuill
.
These
words
the
people
then
spake
of
Christ
,
these
words
,
I
say
,
they
spake
of
Christ
himselfe
.
He
was
called
a
Samaritane
,
a
wine-bibber
,
a
friend
of
publicans
and
sinners
,
a
seducer
of
the
people
.
Therefore
,
it
is
the
lesse
maruaile
if
such
words
be
now
at
these
dayes
spoken
,
as
were
spoken
in
the
beginning
of
the
Church
;
if
such
words
be
spoken
against
vs
,
as
were
spoken
against
Christ
himselfe
.
But
S.
Paul
hath
here
giuen
vs
a
rule
,
whereby
to
know
the
true
seruants
of
Christ
,
and
Stewards
of
Gods
secrets
.
Christ
was
the
true
Prophet
,
and
why
so
?
because
he
preached
his
fathers
will
.
What
euer
I
haue
heard
of
my
Father
,
saith
Christ
,
the
same
haue
I
declared
vnto
you
.
Saint
Paul
was
the
true
seruant
of
Christ
,
and
steward
of
his
secrets
,
and
why
so
?
because
he
labored
in
Gods
vineyard
,
he
preached
,
he
taught
,
more
than
all
the
rest
of
the
Apostles
of
Christ
did
,
Laboraui
plus
quàm
,
caeteri
omnes
.
I
haue
labored
more
than
all
the
rest
of
the
Apostles
haue
done
.
Therefore
was
he
the
true
and
faithful
minister
of
Gods
mysteries
,
because
he
thus
diligently
alwaies
taught
Gods
Gospell
,
and
the
glorie
of
his
name
:
for
this
cause
I
say
,
and
none
other
,
was
he
the
Steward
and
dispenser
of
Gods
secrets
.
So
were
the
Patriarches
,
and
the
Prophets
,
the
true
seruants
of
God
,
because
they
declared
the
will
of
God
.
And
here
haue
we
to
consider
,
that
Christ
which
was
the
true
Prophet
,
the
Apostles
which
were
the
true
Ministers
and
Stewards
of
Christ
,
the
Patriarches
&
Prophets
,
which
were
the
true
and
faithfull
seruants
of
God
,
were
all
greeuously
afflicted
,
persecuted
from
place
vnto
place
,
and
lastly
put
to
most
cruell
death
.
This
I
say
,
hapned
to
Christ
himself
,
and
all
his
Apostles
,
S.
Iohn
the
Euangelist
only
excepted
.
And
yet
was
Christ
Gods
own
sonne
,
the
Apostles
were
the
true
Ministers
and
Stewards
of
Gods
secrets
.
And
therefore
if
we
shall
in
our
time
sée
the
Preachers
of
Gods
word
afflicted
,
the
Teachers
of
the
Gospell
of
Christ
persecuted
,
the
Stewards
of
Gods
secrets
miserably
tormented
,
yet
let
not
vs
(
good
Bretheren
)
let
not
vs
giue
ouer
and
shrink
from
Gods
gospell
,
let
vs
consider
that
this
is
no
new
thing
,
no
strange
hap
,
but
such
as
hapned
to
the
Patriarches
,
to
the
Prophets
,
to
the
Apostles
,
yea
,
and
to
Christ
himselfe
.
Now
then
,
let
vs
take
this
rule
of
S.
Pauls
,
and
thereby
let
vs
trie
whether
the
Preachers
in
times
past
,
the
Popes
,
the
Cardinals
,
the
Bishops
,
were
the
true
seruants
of
God
,
Stewards
and
dispensers
of
his
holie
secrets
.
There
are
at
this
day
some
that
be
called
Bishops
,
some
that
be
called
Cardinals
,
&
they
say
that
they
carry
vp
the
Church
of
Christ
,
and
are
the
props
&
pillers
of
the
same
:
and
therefore
in
token
therof
they
haue
alwaies
pillers
borne
before
them
.
At
this
day
the
Bishop
of
Rome
calleth
himselfe
a
generall
Bishop
,
an
vniuersal
Bishop
,
not
ouer
this
part
,
or
that
part
,
but
ouer
all
Christendome
;
yea
,
&
he
saith
,
he
is
the
head
of
Christs
Church
:
he
saith
that
he
hath
power
ouer
Kings
,
ouer
Princes
,
he
hath
power
ouer
purgatorie
,
ouer
Soules
departed
,
ouer
Deuils
,
ouer
Angels
:
he
can
parden
not
only
sinnes
alreadie
done
,
but
such
also
as
shall
be
at
any
time
hereafter
committed
:
and
that
he
can
not
mistake
the
Scriptures
of
God
,
that
he
can
not
erre
,
and
be
deceiued
:
what
euer
he
doth
,
all
is
well
done
:
no
man
can
iudge
him
and
sit
vpon
his
doings
.
I
speake
not
this
of
malice
,
I
speake
it
not
for
any
grudge
or
hatred
I
owe
to
his
person
,
God
is
my
witnesse
,
I
neyther
know
him
that
now
is
,
nor
any
of
them
that
haue
heretofore
time
béen
Bishops
of
Rome
.
But
all
these
their
doings
are
written
,
all
these
words
which
I
haue
here
spoken
,
are
written
I
say
,
euen
in
their
owne
Lawes
and
Decrées
;
the
places
may
be
alleaged
and
brought
forth
.
Alas
,
these
are
glorious
titles
,
to
be
called
vniuersall
Bishop
,
and
head
of
Christs
Church
,
to
haue
dominion
ouer
Kings
and
Princes
,
to
haue
power
ouer
Purgatorie
,
ouer
Soules
departed
,
ouer
Deuils
,
ouer
Angels
,
to
haue
authoritie
to
pardon
sinnes
past
,
&
sinnes
hereafter
to
be
committed
,
not
to
erre
,
not
to
be
deceiued
:
all
these
are
glorious
and
triumphant
titles
,
as
you
well
sée
.
But
let
vs
now
take
Pauls
rule
,
the
rule
I
say
that
S.
Paul
hath
here
giuen
vs
,
and
let
vs
by
the
same
trie
,
whether
the
Bishops
,
the
Cardinals
,
the
Popes
,
haue
heretofore
time
,
or
at
this
time
,
do
dispense
vnto
vs
the
mysteries
of
the
Gospell
,
as
Stewards
of
the
secrets
of
God
:
whether
they
do
preach
&
teach
the
Gospel
of
Christ
,
as
the
seruants
and
Ministers
of
Christ
.
Alas
,
we
sée
they
do
nothing
lesse
,
they
do
,
we
sée
,
nothing
lesse
than
set
forth
the
Gospell
of
God
,
&
the
glory
of
his
holy
name
.
Now
then
can
they
call
themselues
Pastores
,
when
they
féede
not
Gods
shéepe
?
how
can
they
call
themselues
watchmen
,
when
they
haue
no
regard
to
Gods
flocke
?
how
can
they
call
themselues
pillers
of
the
Church
,
yea
,
and
the
head
of
the
Church
,
when
they
shew
themselues
rather
destroyers
of
the
Church
of
Christ
,
and
not
members
of
the
same
?
Alas
,
if
they
be
not
Gods
seruants
,
whose
seruants
are
they
?
if
they
be
not
Dispensers
&
Stewards
of
Gods
secrets
,
of
whose
secrets
are
they
Stewards
?
if
they
be
not
so
much
as
members
,
how
are
they
then
the
Pillers
&
head
of
Christs
Church
?
Saint
Paul
goeth
further
and
saith
,
It
is
not
sufficient
to
be
called
Seruants
,
to
be
called
Ministers
,
to
be
called
stewards
of
Gods
secrets
,
but
it
is
further
required
at
the
Stewards
hand
,
that
he
be
found
faithful
.
In
this
world
the
Master
committeth
the
order
of
his
house
to
the
gouernance
of
his
Steward
;
the
disposing
of
his
whole
liuing
,
&
order
of
all
other
things
,
he
committeth
only
to
his
Stewards
wisdome
:
&
he
looketh
that
he
be
found
faithfull
in
all
his
doings
.
And
if
this
be
in
worldly
things
,
if
the
Master
here
in
this
world
will
look
for
,
&
require
faithful
dealings
at
his
Stewards
hands
,
in
such
things
as
are
but
transitorie
,
&
of
little
value
:
how
much
more
then
will
God
require
faithfulnesse
in
his
Stewards
,
as
touching
things
Eternall
,
things
Heauenly
,
and
the
disposing
of
his
secrets
.
But
from
the
beginning
,
euen
from
the
first
beginning
of
the
world
,
there
haue
béen
alwayes
vntrustie
and
wicked
Stewards
.
For
,
at
what
time
God
framed
man
,
and
placed
him
in
Paradise
in
great
ioy
and
pleasure
,
the
Deuill
enuying
this
his
felicitie
,
became
a
wicked
Steward
,
and
said
vnto
Adam
,
Tush
,
ye
shall
not
dye
,
eate
of
this
fruit
,
for
he
doth
know
that
in
what
euer
houre
ye
eate
of
it
,
your
eyes
shal
be
opened
,
&
ye
shall
be
as
God
,
knowing
both
good
&
euill
.
And
thus
he
became
a
most
wicked
Steward
.
Ieremy
also
the
prophet
saith
,
that
in
his
time
ther
were
wicked
and
vntrusty
Stewards
:
Currunt
saith
he
,
at
ego
non
misi
,
loquuntur
,
at
ego
non
sum
loquutus
illis
,
They
run
,
saith
God
,
but
I
sent
them
not
,
they
haue
spoken
,
but
I
spake
not
vnto
them
.
So
Christ
himselfe
said
,
that
in
the
later
dayes
there
should
come
false
Stewards
,
false
Prophets
,
false
Preachers
,
and
say
,
Hic
est
Christus
,
illic
est
Christus
,
Lo
,
here
is
Christ
,
there
is
Christ
;
and
should
do
great
wonders
and
tokens
,
in
so
much
that
,
if
it
were
possible
,
the
verie
chosen
should
be
brought
into
error
also
.
Antechrist
in
likewise
shall
come
saith
Paul
,
The
man
of
sinne
,
the
sonne
of
perdition
,
he
shall
exalt
himselfe
aboue
all
that
is
called
God
,
he
shall
sit
in
the
holie
place
,
in
the
Temple
of
God
,
in
the
conscience
of
Men
:
and
when
he
commeth
he
shall
not
say
,
I
am
Antechrist
,
I
am
a
false
Prophet
,
I
am
a
wicked
Steward
;
but
he
shall
rather
say
,
I
am
a
true
Prophet
,
I
am
a
faithful
Steward
.
I
am
Christ
the
Sonne
of
God
,
yea
I
am
God
himselfe
.
Now
therefore
how
will
you
know
the
true
seruant
,
from
the
false
Minister
,
how
will
you
trie
the
faithfull
Steward
from
the
vnfaithfull
?
Mary
,
saith
S.
Paul
,
if
he
doth
his
Masters
will
and
commaundement
,
if
he
doth
all
those
things
faithfully
that
his
Master
requireth
at
his
hands
,
if
he
this
doth
,
then
is
he
a
faithful
Minister
and
a
trustie
Steward
.
By
this
shall
you
know
him
,
by
this
token
,
&
none
other
shall
you
soone
discerne
,
whether
he
be
a
faithfull
Steward
,
this
is
the
point
of
a
trusty
seruant
.
And
therfore
God
vnto
Ezechiel
his
prophet
,
and
so
by
him
to
all
such
as
shall
become
his
Stewards
&
Preachers
of
his
Gospel
,
saith
,
I
haue
appointed
thee
a
Watchman
ouer
my
house
of
Israel
,
to
crie
vnto
my
people
,
therefore
take
good
heed
to
the
words
of
my
mouth
,
and
giue
them
warning
at
my
commandement
:
thou
shalt
heare
it
at
my
mouth
,
saith
God
,
and
then
shalt
thou
pronounce
it
vnto
my
people
.
So
Paul
was
bould
to
say
,
Quodaccepi
à
Domino
,
tradidi
vobis
,
That
which
I
deliuered
vnto
you
,
receiued
I
of
the
Lord
:
what
thing
soeuer
I
receiued
of
the
Lord
,
that
haue
I
deliuered
&
sthewed
vnto
you
,
without
adding
any
thing
thereto
,
or
diminising
any
thing
therefro
.
Euen
so
,
Christ
himselfe
said
,
Sermo
quem
audistis
non
est
meus
,
sed
patris
mei
qui
misit
me
:
The
doctrine
which
you
hear
is
not
mine
,
but
his
that
hath
sent
me
:
These
words
that
you
haue
heard
,
are
not
mine
,
but
my
fathers
that
sent
me
:
I
do
but
my
Fathers
message
,
saith
Christ
,
all
that
I
teach
,
all
that
I
preach
vnto
you
,
is
nothing
else
but
the
will
of
my
Father
.
If
any
man
come
vnto
you
,
&
bring
not
this
doctrine
,
receiue
him
not
into
your
house
,
neither
salute
him
:
if
any
man
,
saith
he
,
come
vnto
you
,
&
teach
you
any
other
Gospel
,
than
this
that
I
haue
preached
,
let
him
not
enter
into
your
house
,
do
not
somuch
as
bid
him
,
God
spéed
.
So
Esay
the
prophet
,
If
they
speak
not
according
to
this
word
,
they
shall
haue
no
morning
light
.
Now
as
touching
the
variance
&
diuersity
of
opinions
nowadaies
,
as
touching
the
dissention
&
controuersie
that
is
at
this
time
among
vs
I
would
to
God
that
all
such
as
defend
&
maintain
the
Popes
authoritie
&
power
,
would
be
content
to
be
iudged
by
this
rule
,
to
be
tried
by
this
only
rule
that
S.
Paul
here
giueth
.
These
are
the
most
&
the
greatest
controuersies
,
wherupon
hath
risen
all
the
contention
&
variance
that
we
haue
séen
;
whether
we
should
haue
a
Communion
,
or
a
priuat
Masse
:
whether
the
Communion
should
be
ministred
vnder
both
kinds
,
or
not
:
whether
we
ought
to
haue
our
Prayers
in
our
vulgar
tongue
:
whether
we
shold
haue
and
set
vp
in
our
Churches
any
grauen
Images
:
and
whether
we
may
lawfully
haue
the
Scriptures
in
our
common
tongue
,
that
euery
man
may
read
and
vnderstand
them
.
These
are
,
I
say
,
the
controuersies
,
whereon
hangeth
all
our
debate
.
But
now
let
vs
sée
and
consider
,
whether
such
as
taught
you
to
haue
a
priuate
Masse
:
such
as
would
haue
the
Communion
ministred
vnder
one
kind
alone
:
such
as
taught
you
to
worship
Images
:
such
as
would
you
to
pray
in
an
vnknowen
tongue
:
such
as
would
not
suffer
you
to
haue
the
knowledge
of
Gods
word
and
his
gospell
:
let
vs
I
say
,
according
vnto
S.
Pauls
rule
,
sée
whether
they
were
the
true
Ministers
of
Christ
,
&
faithful
stewards
of
the
secrets
of
God
;
let
vs
weigh
whether
they
disclosed
vnto
you
the
mysteries
of
Gods
word
,
and
whether
their
doctrine
agréed
with
the
gospell
of
Christ
.
Christ
at
his
last
Supper
ordeyned
a
Communion
,
This
they
taught
to
bee
necessarie
doctrine
,
and
that
our
saluation
depended
therupon
.
This
haue
they
done
,
you
all
right
well
know
,
and
this
contrarie
to
the
expresse
commandement
of
God
.
And
how
then
should
wee
esteem
them
as
the
ministers
of
Christ
,
and
Stewards
of
the
secrets
of
God
?
S.
Paul
willeth
our
praiers
in
the
congregation
to
be
such
,
that
they
should
haue
his
commandements
written
in
their
hands
,
on
their
sleeues
,
on
their
doore
thresholds
,
in
the
skirts
of
their
garments
.
This
God
himselfe
commanded
.
And
Christ
in
the
new
Law
,
Scrutamini
Scripturas
,
saith
he
,
illae
enim
testimonium
perhibent
de
me
,
Search
ye
the
Scripturs
,
for
they
do
bear
witnesse
of
mee
.
And
yet
this
notwithstanding
,
notwithstanding
Christ
commaunded
vs
to
searth
the
Scripturs
,
yet
you
your selues
haue
known
men
,
and
such
as
were
Preachers
,
forbid
you
to
haue
Gods
Gospell
in
your
hands
,
would
not
suffer
you
to
haue
the
holy
Testament
of
Christ
in
your
houses
,
no
nor
in
the
Churches
for
all
men
to
read
.
This
was
contrarie
to
Gods
commandement
,
and
the
mind
of
our
sauiour
Iesus
Christ
.
And
how
then
can
they
say
they
are
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
&
Stewards
of
Gods
secrets
?
Christ
said
vnto
Peter
,
Amas
me
?
pasce
oues
meos
,
louest
thou
me
?
feed
my
sheepe
,
feed
my
lambes
,
feed
my
flock
:
But
our
great
clearkes
,
our
Popes
,
our
Cardinals
,
our
Bishops
,
would
seldome
or
neuer
make
a
Sermon
;
they
fed
not
Gods
shéepe
,
they
fed
not
Gods
lambs
,
they
had
no
regard
to
Gods
flocke
:
and
how
then
could
they
say
,
they
were
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
and
Stewards
of
Gods
secrets
?
I
leaue
out
much
of
purpose
,
good
brethren
,
I
wittingly
ouerpasse
here
many
things
els
,
that
I
could
say
herein
;
the
time
would
faile
me
,
if
I
shold
reherse
vnto
you
al
those
things
wherin
they
haue
most
shamfully
abused
themselues
.
But
iudge
you
,
my
brethren
,
by
these
things
only
which
I
haue
here
shewed
vnto
you
,
whether
they
should
be
estéemed
as
the
Ministers
of
Christ
and
Stewards
of
the
secrets
of
God
?
Christ
willed
them
not
only
to
be
Stewards
but
faithfull
Stewards
,
faithfull
ministers
,
faithfull
dispensers
of
his
secrets
.
If
to
do
nothing
be
the
faithfulnesse
that
God
requireth
in
them
,
if
this
bee
the
charge
that
Christ
demandeth
of
them
,
then
may
wee
well
call
them
the
seruants
of
God
and
ministers
of
Christ
:
otherwise
how
can
we
say
,
that
they
are
the
Stewards
of
Gods
secrets
,
and
faithfull
dispensers
of
his
hidden
mysteries
?
Saint
Paul
goeth
forth
and
saith
;
It
is
but
a
small
thing
that
I
should
be
iudged
of
you
.
Saint
Paul
notwithstanding
he
was
an
elect
vessel
of
God
,
to
beare
abroad
the
glorie
of
his
name
,
notwithstanding
hee
was
the
greatest
of
the
Apostles
,
and
a
faithfull
dispenser
of
Gods
secrets
;
yet
some
men
said
that
hée
was
vnlearned
,
some
said
hee
was
no
Minister
of
Christs
,
some
said
that
there
were
many
other
Preachers
better
than
hee
.
And
this
was
spoken
of
him
euen
by
the
Christians
,
and
such
as
professed
Gods
name
.
And
thus
a
great
number
of
the
people
iudged
that
S.
Paul
was
not
the
seruant
of
God
,
was
not
the
Minister
of
Christ
,
was
not
a
Steward
of
Gods
secrets
.
But
S.
Paule
appealed
from
them
,
he
appealed
from
their
iudgements
,
and
said
;
It
is
but
a
smal
matter
for
me
to
be
iudged
of
you
,
or
of
mans
daie
&c.
Here
may
wee
sée
what
a
bold
courage
,
what
a
stout
stomacke
was
in
S.
Paul
,
when
he
durst
thus
openly
,
and
as
it
were
,
to
their
faces
,
appeale
from
the
peoples
iudgement
,
and
so
bring
them
before
the
dreadfull
maiestie
of
the
eternall
God
.
This
was
a
great
courage
of
his
,
this
was
a
signe
that
hee
little
or
nothing
feared
the
force
of
the
people
.
But
this
he
did
,
because
he
wel
knew
that
what
euer
befell
him
in
this
world
,
what
euer
punishment
hee
suffered
in
this
life
,
he
could
not
miscarie
before
God
,
hée
could
not
doe
other
than
well
in
the
life
to
come
.
And
therefore
likewise
in
another
place
hee
bouldly
said
vnto
the
people
,
I
am
pure
from
the
bloud
of
all
men
,
I
haue
kept
back
nothing
that
was
profitable
,
I
haue
hid
nothing
from
you
,
but
haue
shewed
you
all
the
counsell
of
God
.
And
so
,
where
,
at
this
day
some
men
there
are
which
say
that
this
Doctrine
which
is
now
preached
vnto
you
,
shall
againe
haue
a
change
,
that
this
Religion
shall
be
taken
away
and
once
againe
altered
,
that
it
can
not
long
stand
&
continew
:
to
such
we
boldly
answere
here
as
S.
Paule
to
the
Corinthians
did
,
that
it
is
but
a
smal
matter
for
vs
to
be
iudged
of
you
,
that
we
much
force
not
what
you
iudge
and
déeme
of
vs
.
For
we
haue
kept
nothing
backe
from
you
,
we
haue
disclosed
vnto
you
al
the
counsell
of
God
.
But
if
such
change
doth
happen
,
if
any
alteration
of
our
Religion
doth
chance
,
as
possible
enough
it
is
so
to
come
to
passe
,
yet
is
it
not
(
good
brethren
)
a
thing
to
bee
reioyced
at
,
it
is
not
a
thing
wherat
we
should
triumph
and
be
glad
.
For
oftentimes
when
God
séeth
his
benefits
misused
,
when
he
perceiueth
his
Gospell
little
regarded
,
when
hee
espieth
his
holy
word
neglected
and
nothing
set
by
:
then
he
pulleth
from
vs
againe
his
benefits
earst
bestowed
,
then
he
taketh
away
his
word
from
out
of
the
congregation
,
then
hee
will
not
suffer
the
light
of
his
holy
Gospell
,
any
longer
to
shine
vpon
them
.
And
this
when
he
doth
,
he
doth
it
onely
for
our
sinfulnesse
,
only
for
our
owne
sins
&
wretchednesse
.
For
so
in
times
past
he
said
by
Ose
his
Prophet
;
For
the
wickednesse
of
my
people
I
will
get
me
away
,
they
shal
not
see
me
.
So
Christ
himselfe
also
said
;
Auferetur
à
vobis
regnum
Dei
,
The
kingdom
of
God
shal
be
taken
from
you
,
&
giuen
to
the
heathen
which
shall
bring
forth
the
fruits
of
it
.
But
alas
,
when
Gods
kingdom
is
taken
away
,
in
whose
kingdom
and
dominion
do
the
people
then
liue
?
when
Gods
gospel
&
his
word
is
no
longer
preached
,
what
learning
,
what
doctrin
,
what
discipline
is
there
left
to
bee
taught
?
And
this
oftentimes
commeth
to
passe
by
means
of
our
owne
sin
and
wickednes
:
that
for
the
misusing
of
God
and
his
gospel
,
we
neither
haue
Gods
Kingdome
,
nor
his
Gospell
among
vs
.
But
then
alas
,
in
what
great
miserie
,
in
what
wretchednesse
,
in
what
wofull
case
shall
wée
stand
?
For
if
Gods
Kingdom
be
shut
from
vs
,
whither
shal
we
fly
?
If
the
light
of
his
gospell
be
taken
from
vs
,
what
light
shall
be
left
vs
?
If
God
will
get
him
away
from
vs
,
who
shall
bee
our
succour
?
And
therefore
no
man
ought
to
reioice
hereat
,
no
man
ought
to
be
glad
of
such
a
change
.
But
though
Gods
kingdom
be
taken
away
from
vs
,
though
Gods
Gospell
bee
no
more
preached
vnto
vs
,
though
God
fly
from
vs
,
and
will
hide
himselfe
away
,
yet
is
God
and
his
gospell
nothing
thereby
altered
;
God
is
still
one
,
and
the
same
God
,
his
gospell
is
the
same
gospell
that
it
was
before
,
his
Kingdome
continueth
in
one
stay
and
estate
,
it
is
not
changed
nor
altered
.
For
saith
Christ
,
Caelum
&
terra
transibunt
,
verbum
autem
meum
non
transibit
:
Heauen
and
earth
shall
perish
,
but
may
word
shall
not
perish
.
And
again
,
Portae
inferorum
non
praeualebunt
aduersum
illud
:
The
gates
of
hell
shal
not
preuaile
against
it
.
And
therefore
S.
Paul
hauing
on
his
side
this
word
of
God
,
which
neuer
changeth
,
but
alwayes
continueth
one
and
the
same
:
hauing
,
I
say
,
this
word
of
his
which
shal
neuer
perish
,
and
against
which
the
verie
gates
of
hel
shal
not
preuaile
,
he
was
bould
to
appeale
from
the
slaunderous
iudgement
of
the
people
,
and
say
,
I
passe
not
what
you
thinke
of
me
,
It
is
but
a
small
matter
for
mee
to
bee
iudged
of
you
,
or
of
mans
day
,
&c.
Good
people
,
you
haue
here
heard
declared
vnto
you
,
and
thereby
you
may
well
perceiue
,
that
S.
Paul
notwithstanding
hée
was
the
seruant
of
God
,
an
elect
vessell
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
and
the
chiefest
Apostle
of
Christ
;
yet
was
euill
spoken
of
and
misliked
euen
of
the
Chrians
,
and
such
as
professed
the
name
of
God
:
notwithstanding
he
was
indéed
the
true
seruant
of
God
,
the
minister
of
Christ
,
and
a
faithfull
dispenser
of
the
secrets
of
God
,
yet
could
not
all
men
speake
wel
of
him
,
al
men
could
not
giue
him
a
good
report
.
And
therefore
to
cause
them
to
conceiue
a
better
opinion
of
him
,
and
report
of
him
none
other
than
he
deserued
,
he
here
willeth
them
,
that
they
should
first
weigh
well
and
consider
his
doings
,
they
should
examine
his
doctrine
,
and
the
gospel
that
he
had
preached
amongst
them
:
they
should
marke
well
and
see
whether
he
had
been
a
faithfull
dispenser
of
the
mysteries
of
Gods
gospell
,
and
then
so
estéeme
him
,
as
the
minister
of
Christ
,
and
Steward
of
the
secrets
of
God
.
And
therefore
iudge
you
nothing
(
saith
he
)
before
the
time
that
the
Lord
come
,
which
shall
bring
that
to
light
which
is
hid
in
darknesse
,
and
open
the
counsels
of
the
hearts
,
and
then
shall
euerie
one
haue
prayse
of
God
.
And
so
in
these
daies
,
as
Paul
in
his
time
was
misliked
of
many
,
so
I
say
,
in
these
our
dayes
the
ministers
of
God
,
and
preachers
of
his
gospell
,
are
euill
spoken
of
amongst
all
men
:
some
say
they
are
vnlearned
,
they
know
nothing
,
they
are
crafts
men
,
they
were
neuer
set
to
school
,
this
they
haue
said
,
and
do
yet
report
of
them
.
Some
men
say
,
they
preach
they
cannot
tell
what
,
they
speake
against
prayer
,
against
fasting
,
against
almes
déeds
,
and
all
other
good
works
;
they
allow
nothing
that
good
is
,
they
disallow
in
manner
all
things
.
This
you
know
hath
béene
spoken
,
and
yet
is
reported
of
such
as
now
are
ministers
in
Gods
gospell
.
But
hereunto
haue
I
none
other
thing
to
say
,
than
that
which
S.
Paul
in
this
place
writeth
to
the
Corinthians
,
It
is
sufficient
for
vs
to
bee
found
the
seruants
of
God
,
the
ministers
of
Christ
,
&
faithfull
dispensers
of
Gods
secrets
.
In
the
meane
season
doe
not
you
(
good
brethren
)
thinke
euill
of
the
preachers
of
Gods
word
,
report
not
amisse
of
the
ministers
of
Christ
,
account
not
them
your
enemies
,
that
bring
vnto
you
the
glad
tidings
of
the
gospel
.
The
end
of
the
first
Sermon
.
THE
SECOND
Sermon
.
Psalme
67.
3.
4.
3.
Let
the
people
prayse
thee
O
God
,
let
all
the
people
prayse
thee
.
4.
O
let
the
people
reioyce
and
be
glad
that
thou
iudgest
the
folke
righteously
,
and
gouernest
the
Nations
vpon
the
earth
,
&c.
AT
what
time
the
Iewes
had
grieuously
offended
God
their
Lord
,
forgotten
their
obedience
towards
him
,
and
betaken
themselues
to
strange
gods
,
euery
man
wandring
after
his
owne
lust
and
fansie
;
and
thereupon
God
began
to
plague
and
punish
them
with
sundry
and
diuers
plagues
,
and
with
vnseasonable
weather
,
so
that
their
grasse
,
their
corne
,
their
fruits
,
&
what
euer
other
commodities
sprang
out
of
the
earth
,
were
al
in
great
danger
:
then
Dauid
the
Prophet
,
séeing
all
these
miseries
at
once
fall
vpon
the
people
,
called
them
home
againe
,
shewed
them
how
they
should
returne
from
their
wickednes
,
&
come
vnto
God
.
For
God
desireth
not
our
destruction
,
he
is
loth
to
work
reuengement
vpon
vs
when
we
anger
&
displease
him
.
In
what
euer
houre
the
sinner
shal
returne
from
his
sin
,
&
come
vnto
me
,
saith
the
Lord
,
I
shall
be
readie
to
receiue
him
.
As
for
all
his
sins
that
hee
did
before
,
they
shall
not
be
thought
vpon
:
but
in
his
righteousnesse
that
he
hath
done
he
shal
liue
.
In
what
euer
time
a
man
shall
hold
vp
his
hands
,
acknowledge
gods
mercy
,
&
be
sory
for
his
offences
from
the
bottom
of
his
hart
,
God
asketh
no
more
,
he
craueth
no
more
at
his
hands
,
he
is
pleased
only
with
his
humble
repentance
.
And
therefore
Dauid
in
the
beginning
of
this
Psalm
shewed
the
people
how
they
shold
in
this
wise
come
vnto
God
,
&
desire
mercy
at
his
hands
,
saying
:
God
bee
mercifull
vnto
vs
,
and
blesse
vs
,
&
shew
vs
the
light
of
his
countenance
,
and
be
mercifull
vnto
vs
.
And
now
therefore
,
when
Dauid
perceiued
that
this
grace
of
god
,
this
mercy
,
this
blessing
of
his
was
not
giuen
in
vaine
,
was
not
frustrat
&
void
,
he
caused
all
the
people
to
say
,
Let
the
people
praise
thee
O
God
,
let
all
the
people
praise
thee
.
This
is
a
short
sentence
,
but
such
a
sentence
it
is
,
as
shall
endure
and
continue
for
euer
.
This
is
our
profession
,
this
is
our
baptisme
,
this
is
our
religion
.
It
is
not
sufficient
to
know
the
gospel
,
to
know
God
,
to
know
Christ
,
but
we
must
confesse
the
gospel
,
we
must
confesse
God
,
we
must
confesse
&
acknowledge
Christ
.
The
gospel
that
Christ
left
vs
,
is
not
a
song
to
delight
our
ears
,
it
is
not
an
harmony
to
content
&
please
our
hearing
,
but
it
is
a
squire
to
direct
our
liues
by
,
it
is
a
rule
to
frame
all
our
doings
by
.
S.
Paul
saith
,
To
this
end
hath
the
grace
of
God
,
that
bringeth
saluation
,
appeared
vnto
vs
,
that
we
shold
deny
vngodlynesse
&
worldly
lusts
:
and
that
we
should
liue
discreetly
,
righteously
,
and
godly
,
in
this
world
.
Therefore
hath
God
giuen
vs
h●●
gospell
,
therefore
hath
he
giuen
vs
his
word
,
that
we
should
according
thereunto
liue
a
sober
,
a
discreet
,
and
modest
life
,
saith
he
.
And
in
another
place
:
That
we
by
the
same
gospell
may
serue
and
please
him
in
newnesse
of
life
.
And
so
Zacharie
that
holy
Father
,
béeing
filled
with
the
holy
ghost
,
that
wee
beeing
deliuered
out
of
the
hands
of
our
enemies
,
might
serue
him
al
the
daies
of
our
life
,
in
such
holinesse
and
righteousnesse
,
as
is
accepted
before
him
.
For
like
as
our
profession
is
,
so
shold
our
liues
be
.
If
wée
professe
the
name
of
Christ
,
we
should
liue
like
christians
:
if
we
professe
God
,
we
should
liue
as
becommeth
the
seruants
of
God
.
For
this
purpose
appeared
the
Sonne
of
God
,
to
loose
the
workes
of
the
diuell
:
to
this
end
,
that
all
sinne
and
wickednesse
should
be
left
and
forsaken
.
By
this
are
the
children
of
God
knowne
from
the
children
of
the
diuell
.
S.
Paul
in
his
Epistle
to
the
Romans
saith
,
before
God
they
are
not
righteous
which
heare
the
law
,
but
they
that
do
the
law
shall
be
iustified
.
God
reckoneth
no
man
iust
for
hearing
of
the
law
,
hee
accounteth
no
man
righteous
for
knowing
of
his
gospell
,
but
for
the
kéeping
of
his
law
,
for
the
obseruing
of
his
gospell
;
though
no
man
indéed
be
able
throughly
to
fulfill
and
kéepe
the
same
.
See
that
yee
bee
doers
of
the
word
,
and
not
hearers
onely
,
deceiuing
your
owne
selues
.
For
if
any
heare
the
word
and
do
it
not
,
he
is
like
vnto
a
man
that
beholdeth
his
bodily
face
in
a
glasse
:
for
as
soone
as
hee
looketh
on
himselfe
,
hee
goeth
away
and
forgetteth
immediatly
what
his
fashion
was
.
But
who
so
looketh
in
the
perfect
law
of
libertie
,
and
continueth
therein
,
(
if
hee
bee
not
a
forgetfull
hearer
,
but
a
doer
of
the
work
)
the
same
shall
be
happie
in
his
deed
.
If
ye
therfore
heare
the
word
of
God
preached
vnto
you
,
if
you
know
the
gospell
of
Christ
neuer
so
well
,
if
yée
dayly
and
howerly
read
and
study
the
same
:
yet
if
you
liue
not
according
to
the
word
of
God
,
if
you
walke
not
after
the
gospel
of
Christ
,
you
doe
nothing
else
but
deceiue
your selues
,
you
doe
I
say
,
nought
else
but
deceiue
your
owne
selues
.
S.
Iohn
the
Baptist
when
he
preached
and
prepared
the
way
of
the
Lord
,
hée
began
with
this
lesson
,
Penitentiam
agite
:
doe
you
(
said
he
)
the
workes
of
repentance
.
For
hereunto
are
we
all
called
,
not
only
to
know
Gods
way
,
but
also
to
walke
in
Gods
way
:
not
only
to
know
God
&
his
name
,
but
also
to
confesse
God
and
praise
his
holy
name
.
Therefore
do
wée
receiue
Christs
holy
Sacraments
,
therfore
are
we
baptised
,
therfore
eat
we
the
Sacrament
of
Christs
body
,
and
drinke
his
most
holy
blood
.
But
O
mercifull
God
,
how
many
are
there
that
say
they
know
Gods
way
,
&
yet
walk
not
in
that
way
!
how
many
that
say
they
know
their
faith
&
promise
made
in
baptism
,
&
yet
forsake
the
same
!
how
many
that
receiue
the
Sacrament
of
Christs
body
&
blood
,
&
yet
continue
in
their
old
sin
&
wickednesse
!
But
God
saith
,
God
I
say
,
that
cannot
lye
,
Qui
manet
in
peccato
non
nouit
me
,
hee
that
continueth
in
sin
knoweth
not
me
.
Ezechiel
declaring
the
folly
of
the
people
in
his
time
,
O
these
come
vnto
thee
after
the
manner
of
a
great
people
:
yea
my
people
sit
down
before
thee
,
and
heare
thy
words
,
but
they
doe
not
thereafter
:
For
in
their
mouths
they
shew
themselues
as
though
they
were
feruent
,
but
their
heart
goeth
after
their
owne
couetous
lucre
.
They
haue
my
word
in
their
mouthes
,
they
speake
euer
of
my
name
,
saith
God
,
but
their
hearts
are
farre
from
mee
.
And
so
likewise
Iude
the
Apostle
of
Christ
,
Veritatem
Dei
verterunt
in
luxum
,
saith
hee
,
They
haue
turned
the
truth
of
Gods
word
into
riot
:
they
are
vngodly
,
and
turne
the
grace
of
our
God
into
wantonnesse
,
and
deny
God
.
Paul
complaining
of
the
misliuing
of
of
the
people
in
his
time
,
Whereas
they
know
God
,
they
glorifie
not
God
:
Where
they
know
his
name
,
they
glorifie
not
his
name
.
Whosoeuer
he
be
that
taketh
vpon
him
to
know
Gods
way
,
and
walketh
not
in
Gods
way
,
whosoeuer
taketh
vpon
him
to
know
God
and
his
gospell
,
and
directs
not
his
dooings
according
vnto
Gods
will
&
his
holy
commandements
,
hée
doth
not
confesse
God
,
and
glorifie
his
holy
name
.
Saint
Paul
found
fault
with
the
Iewes
,
For
your
sake
is
the
name
of
God
euill
spoken
of
among
the
Gentiles
:
for
your
sake
,
for
your
euill
and
corrupt
lyuing
,
said
S.
Paul
Good
brethren
,
let
vs
consider
that
as
many
of
vs
as
say
,
we
know
gods
way
,
we
know
gods
word
&
his
gospel
;
if
vertue
follow
not
,
if
honest
conuersation
&
vpright
liuing
follow
not
this
our
profession
,
we
shame
God
,
and
dishonor
his
holy
name
.
Dicunt
se
nosce
Deum
,
saith
S.
Paul
,
sed
factis
negant
:
they
say
they
know
God
,
saith
he
,
they
say
they
know
his
holy
word
&
gospel
,
but
in
their
deeds
they
deny
God
,
they
deny
his
gospel
.
An
horrible
thing
it
is
to
deny
God
.
The
Turks
,
the
Iews
,
the
Heathen
,
&
Infidels
,
do
not
deny
God
:
&
yet
S.
Paul
said
that
in
his
time
Christian
men
,
such
as
professed
the
name
of
god
,
in
their
déeds
denied
god
&
his
gospel
.
If
thou
say
thou
knowest
God
,
if
thou
say
thou
knowest
his
gospell
:
if
thou
liue
not
as
God
commaundeth
thée
,
if
thou
liue
not
as
it
becommeth
a
professor
of
Gods
gospell
,
thou
blasphemest
Gods
name
,
and
dishonorest
his
gospel
.
Ore
suo
appropinquant
ad
me
,
Esay
,
corda
autem
illorum
longe
absunt
à
me
:
this
people
draweth
nigh
vnto
mee
with
their
mouthes
,
but
their
hearts
are
farre
from
me
.
They
honor
me
with
their
mouthes
but
with
their
hearts
they
deny
mée
.
And
in
another
place
God
by
his
Prophet
Dauid
saith
:
O
thou
man
,
why
doest
thou
preach
my
lawes
,
and
takest
my
couenant
in
thy
mouth
?
for
with
the
sinfull
thou
art
sinfull
,
with
the
théefe
thou
art
a
théefe
,
with
the
adulterer
thou
art
an
adulterer
.
Therefore
,
if
wee
haue
the
word
of
God
as
a
song
to
delight
our
eares
,
if
we
turne
the
truth
of
Gods
gospel
into
riot
and
wantonnesse
,
if
we
confesse
God
with
our
lips
,
&
deny
him
in
our
déeds
,
if
we
say
we
know
Gods
law
,
we
know
his
commaundements
,
and
yet
liue
not
thereafter
;
we
do
not
prayse
God
and
confesse
his
name
,
but
we
shame
God
,
and
dishonor
his
holy
name
:
we
cause
the
people
to
thinke
euil
of
Gods
word
,
and
slaunder
his
gospell
.
And
this
is
the
cause
why
the
common
sort
of
people
iudge
,
that
not
to
be
the
gospel
,
which
is
this
day
preached
&
taught
vnto
them
;
because
such
as
professe
the
gospell
,
liue
not
after
the
gospell
,
because
such
as
say
they
know
Gods
way
,
walke
not
in
Gods
way
.
And
thus
through
our
own
folly
,
through
our
owne
euill
and
corrupt
liuing
,
we
offend
our
brethren
,
we
offend
our selues
,
and
so
in
them
offend
Iesus
Christ
:
and
their
bloud
shall
bée
required
at
our
hands
.
Let
vs
remember
what
God
by
the
Prophet
Esay
saith
,
Haec
est
vera
via
,
ambulate
in
ea
:
This
is
the
true
way
,
walke
in
the
same
.
Chrysostome
saith
,
if
yee
heare
Gods
word
preached
vnto
you
,
and
yee
follow
it
not
,
yee
learne
,
saith
he
,
but
your
owne
damnation
,
yee
learne
nought
els
but
your
owne
destruction
:
The
words
that
you
heare
preached
vnto
you
,
shall
accuse
and
condemne
you
.
God
sayth
,
Thou
shalt
not
steale
,
thou
shalt
not
commit
adulterie
,
thou
shalt
beare
no
false
witnesse
,
&c.
these
words
,
this
law
of
God
written
vnto
vs
,
shall
accuse
,
yea
,
and
condemne
vs
,
I
say
;
if
wee
to
our
powers
follow
not
the
same
,
if
wée
walke
not
and
continue
in
them
accordingly
.
Alas
,
the
verie
age
of
the
world
,
the
profession
that
wee
haue
taken
vpon
vs
,
is
,
or
should
bee
ynough
to
put
vs
in
remembrance
of
another
life
,
of
another
world
to
come
.
Let
vs
not
take
the
name
of
God
in
vaine
,
let
vs
all
prayse
and
extoll
God
,
let
our
mouthes
,
our
hands
,
our
hearts
,
and
all
other
our
members
praise
and
confesse
his
name
for
euer
.
Laetentur
&
exultent
populs
,
&c.
O
let
the
people
reioyce
and
bee
glad
,
that
thou
iudgest
the
folke
righteously
,
&
gouernest
the
nations
vpon
the
earth
.
Thy
way
,
O
Lord
,
is
knowne
,
said
Dauid
,
thy
way
is
knowne
vpon
the
earth
,
therefore
let
all
people
,
all
nations
,
yea
,
all
the
whole
world
reioyce
and
be
glad
thereat
.
Diuers
people
set
their
minds
on
diuers
things
:
some
in
conquest
,
some
in
great
power
and
force
of
men
,
some
in
heapes
of
money
,
and
treasures
of
this
world
,
some
others
,
that
they
are
able
to
make
other
men
feare
,
and
they
feare
nothing
themselues
.
But
all
these
things
are
vaine
,
both
conquest
,
power
,
and
heapes
of
great
treasure
,
are
transitorie
,
and
fade
away
:
but
the
man
of
God
,
that
dreadeth
God
,
and
hath
a
delight
in
his
Law
,
setteth
his
ioy
and
delight
in
those
things
which
haue
no
end
,
but
continue
for
euer
.
And
therefore
Dauid
here
saith
,
Let
all
the
people
reioice
and
be
glad
,
in
this
thing
alone
,
because
thou
iudgest
the
folke
righteously
,
and
gouernest
the
nations
vpon
the
earth
.
Let
vs
consider
if
there
were
a
whole
Christian
nation
brought
in
captiuitie
vnder
the
Turke
,
in
thraldom
and
subiection
vnto
him
,
in
such
sort
that
they
should
neuer
heare
the
Scriptures
,
neuer
receiue
the
Sacraments
,
neuer
come
to
the
church
to
pray
,
but
alwaies
be
where
God
should
be
despised
,
and
his
name
dishonored
:
consider
I
say
with
your selues
,
in
what
miserie
,
in
what
wretchednesse
,
in
what
great
thraldome
should
they
be
.
With
what
conscience
should
they
be
able
to
abide
this
?
But
if
it
would
then
please
God
to
deliuer
them
standing
in
this
state
,
if
it
would
please
God
to
restore
vnto
them
his
Scriptrues
,
if
it
would
please
God
that
they
might
receiue
againe
his
holy
Sacraments
,
and
might
come
and
pray
together
:
if
God
would
thus
much
doe
for
them
,
O
what
ioy
,
what
tryumph
,
what
mirth
would
they
make
!
Let
vs
therfore
here
consider
the
estate
of
Gods
Church
before
the
time
of
the
Prophet
Dauid
,
&
as
it
was
in
his
time
.
Before
the
Raigne
of
Dauid
,
the
Tabernacle
of
God
was
broken
,
Haec
est
dies
quam
fecit
Dominus
,
laetemur
&
exultemus
in
ea
:
This
is
a
ioyfull
day
which
the
Lord
hath
made
,
let
vs
reioyce
&
be
glad
therin
.
And
so
likewise
in
another
place
;
Dominus
regnauit
,
moueatur
terra
:
The
Lord
beareth
the
rule
,
the
Lord
is
king
,
be
the
people
neuer
so
vnpacient
:
Let
the
whole
world
conspire
(
saith
he
)
let
it
be
moued
&
do
what
it
can
against
God
,
for
God
ruleth
and
raigneth
ouer
al.
Zacharie
,
when
he
saw
the
comfortable
time
that
should
ensue
the
birth
of
Christ
,
he
fel
downe
&
cried
out
,
saying
:
Benedictus
Dominus
Deus
Israel
,
quia
visit
auit
&
fecit
redemptionem
plebis
suae
:
Blessed
be
the
Lord
God
of
Israel
,
for
he
hath
visited
&
redeemed
his
people
.
So
Simeon
that
old
and
holy
father
,
so
soone
as
he
beheld
Christ
,
&
had
receiued
his
redéemer
into
his
armes
,
by
and
by
his
heart
brake
out
for
ioy
,
&
said
;
Nunc
dimittis
seruum
tuum
Domine
,
secundum
verbum
tuum
in
pace
&c.
Now
lettest
thou
thy
seruant
,
O
Lord
,
depart
in
peace
,
according
to
thy
word
:
for
mine
eyes
haue
beholden
thy
saluation
,
mine
eyes
haue
seene
thy
Sauiour
,
whom
thou
hast
prepared
for
al
people
.
Euen
so
in
this
place
the
prophet
Dauid
considering
the
great
mercie
that
God
had
shewed
,
the
wonderous
work
that
he
had
then
wrought
,
&
how
that
in
his
time
al
the
whole
people
knew
Gods
way
,
he
said
;
Laetentur
&
exultent
populi
&c:
Let
the
people
reioyce
&
be
glad
,
yea
let
all
the
people
reioyce
,
because
thou
iudgest
the
folke
righteously
,
&
gouernest
the
nations
vpon
the
earth
.
Now
(
good
brethren
)
forasmuch
as
we
haue
here
séene
&
considered
the
state
of
Gods
Church
before
Dauids
time
,
&
the
state
wherunto
it
was
restored
again
in
Dauids
time
:
Euen
so
let
vs
in
like
consider
the
state
of
Christs
Church
before
our
time
,
&
the
state
&
condition
of
the
same
in
our
own
time
,
in
those
daies
that
we
our selues
haue
séen
.
Let
vs
consider
how
horrible
darknesse
,
what
error
&
confusion
hath
of
late
time
bin
in
the
Church
of
god
,
let
vs
weigh
&
consider
(
I
say
)
the
deformity
&
great
abuses
the
were
in
the
same
.
For
alas
,
we
had
the
sacraments
,
we
had
the
holy
gospel
&
word
of
god
,
but
wee
had
them
al
in
vain
.
Baptism
we
had
,
but
we
knew
not
the
Principles
of
our
faith
.
The
Sacrament
of
the
body
and
bloud
of
Christ
wee
had
,
but
wee
vnderstood
not
why
Christ
left
vs
this
Sacrament
,
we
knew
not
why
he
said
;
Take
,
eate
,
this
is
my
body
&c.
It
is
the
greatest
Sacrament
,
and
yet
we
perceiued
not
what
it
meant
.
We
had
Praiers
,
wee
had
Psalmes
,
wee
had
supplications
vnto
God
,
and
yet
we
vnderstood
them
not
,
we
vnderstood
no
word
of
them
.
Wee
worshipped
things
made
with
mens
hands
,
Images
of
blockes
and
stones
,
such
as
had
eyes
and
saw
not
,
eares
and
heard
not
,
neither
had
any
breath
in
their
mouthes
:
such
things
we
worshipped
,
and
this
contrarie
to
the
expresse
commandement
of
God
.
The
Scriptures
were
rent
,
were
torne
,
were
troden
vnder
foote
,
were
burnt
before
our
eyes
.
We
groped
our
way
in
the
middest
of
the
day
,
as
said
the
Prophet
Ieremie
.
And
as
the
same
Prophet
of
his
owne
time
spake
,
saying
;
Secundum
numerum
Ciuitatum
tuarum
sunt
Dij
tui
:
According
to
the
number
of
the
cities
,
are
thy
Gods
,
O
Iuda
:
so
might
we
of
our
owne
time
haue
said
.
For
looke
how
many
cities
we
had
,
so
many
Gods
had
wee
also
.
Euery
Borough
,
euery
Towne
,
yea
,
euery
village
(
in
a
maner
)
had
his
proper
and
peculier
Saint
.
It
was
then
come
to
passe
that
Esaie
prophesied
,
Hell
hath
opened
her
mouth
maruellous
wide
,
Hell
hath
gaped
(
saith
hee
)
because
they
haue
no
knowledge
of
God
,
because
they
haue
no
vnderstanding
.
And
so
likewise
Salomon
:
When
Prophesie
faileth
,
the
people
must
needs
be
scattered
.
This
is
the
word
of
God
,
and
this
is
the
miserie
that
wee
our selues
haue
séene
.
The
old
father
Tobie
,
when
God
had
stricken
him
with
blindnesse
,
and
so
taken
his
sight
from
him
,
and
therefore
his
friends
and
acquaintance
,
resorted
vnto
him
to
comfort
him
,
and
somwhat
,
if
they
might
,
ease
him
of
his
great
grief
:
what
comfort
can
I
receiue
that
cannot
see
the
light
of
the
Sunne
.
Thus
said
he
only
because
he
could
not
behold
the
light
of
this
world
.
Alas
,
what
comfort
then
,
what
ioy
,
what
consolation
could
wee
haue
,
when
God
tooke
from
vs
the
knowledge
of
his
gospell
,
the
light
of
his
word
,
yea
the
knowledge
of
God
himselfe
;
when
euery
man
ran
whither
himself
best
liked
,
&
folowed
that
way
which
pleased
his
owne
phansie
.
Therefore
were
wee
caried
away
,
therefore
were
we
led
into
errour
,
therfore
lost
we
the
knowledge
of
God
,
because
prophesie
failed
,
because
Gods
word
was
not
taught
and
preached
vnto
vs
.
But
now
it
hath
pleased
God
to
reueale
himselfe
vnto
vs
,
now
we
know
what
is
what
,
now
can
we
discerne
light
from
darknesse
,
good
from
bad
;
now
we
vnderstand
&
know
this
,
I
say
.
Now
we
haue
the
Scriptures
in
our
mother
tongue
,
that
euery
man
may
read
and
vnderstand
them
:
the
same
Scriptures
that
Christ
hath
sealed
with
his
owne
bloud
.
And
these
Scriptures
Ieremie
that
old
father
calleth
,
The
prop
of
our
Faith
.
Illae
sunt
quae
testimonium
perhibent
de
me
:
They
beare
witnesse
of
me
,
(
saith
Christ
)
and
they
shall
lead
you
into
al
truth
.
Hillary
saith
;
The
Scriptures
are
the
squire
and
Rule
of
our
life
.
In
the
Scriptures
(
saith
Christ
)
you
shall
find
euerlasting
life
.
And
Paule
writing
vnto
the
Romains
,
saith
;
The
Gospell
of
Christ
is
the
power
of
God
,
to
saue
all
that
beleeue
theron
.
The
Scriptures
were
written
(
saith
he
)
that
we
thereby
should
know
our
saluation
.
All
these
things
God
hath
now
restored
vnto
vs
.
Now
are
wee
able
to
know
our
profession
,
now
are
we
able
to
know
our
Religion
,
to
know
God
,
to
know
Christ
,
to
knowe
our
saluation
.
Now
haue
wee
the
vse
of
the
Primitiue
Church
,
the
Communion
vnder
both
kinds
:
now
haue
wee
our
praiers
in
our
knowne
tongue
,
as
in
the
Apostles
time
,
as
in
the
old
Fathers
and
Doctors
times
they
were
vsed
:
Tertullian
that
old
Doctour
speaking
of
his
time
;
We
come
together
(
saith
he
)
and
hear
the
Scripturs
read
vnto
vs
.
We
may
now
do
,
as
S.
Basil
writeth
the
people
in
his
time
did
:
Sonus
virorum
,
mulierum
,
&
paruulorum
,
in
orationibus
claugorē
edit
,
tamquam
fluctus
ferientes
littora
:
The
sound
(
saith
he
)
of
men
,
women
,
and
children
praying
together
,
maketh
a
noyse
like
the
waues
of
the
Sea
beating
on
the
shore
.
Thus
saith
that
old
father
,
they
did
in
his
time
,
and
thus
may
you
now
do
.
Now
may
we
say
,
as
Athanasius
said
;
If
I
be
deceiued
,
thou
hast
deceiued
me
,
O
Lord
.
For
thy
word
is
plaine
,
thy
Gospell
is
true
,
and
therefore
if
we
be
now
deceiued
,
it
is
thy
word
,
it
is
thy
Gospell
,
that
deceiueth
vs
:
God
hath
so
plainly
shewed
vnto
vs
the
light
of
his
Gospel
,
the
knowledge
of
his
word
.
Therfore
haue
we
most
iust
cause
to
say
with
the
prophet
Dauid
:
Laetentur
&
exultent
populi
,
Let
the
people
reioyce
&
be
glad
.
And
therfore
let
vs
not
be
vnkind
,
let
vs
not
be
vnthankful
,
let
vs
say
;
thou
O
Lord
,
iudgest
the
folk
righteously
,
&
gouernest
the
Nations
vpon
the
earth
.
Thou
hast
now
restored
vnto
vs
our
praiers
in
our
known
tongue
,
thy
sacraments
as
they
were
vsed
in
the
Apostls
time
,
in
the
Primitiue
Church
;
in
the
old
Fathers
&
Doctors
times
.
And
let
vs
say
with
Zachary
that
holy
father
;
Benedictus
Dominus
Deus
Israel
,
Blessed
is
the
Lord
God
of
Israel
.
Let
vs
say
with
Dauid
;
Haec
est
dies
,
laetemur
&
exultemus
in
ea
,
this
is
the
ioyful
day
,
let
vs
reioyce
&
be
glad
therin
.
Let
vs
with
Simeon
the
prophet
say
,
Nunc
dimittis
seruum
tuum
Domine
,
secundum
verbum
tuum
in
pace
,
Now
lettest
thou
thy
seruant
,
O
Lord
,
depart
in
peace
,
according
vnto
thy
word
.
Let
vs
say
,
as
the
prophet
here
saith
,
Laetentur
&
exultent
populi
,
Let
the
people
reioice
and
be
glad
,
because
thou
rulest
the
Nations
vpon
the
earth
.
O
let
the
people
praise
thee
,
O
God
,
let
all
the
people
praise
thee
.
And
God
,
euen
our
owne
God
giue
vs
his
blessing
,
that
the
earth
may
bring
forth
her
increase
.
Thou
hast
,
O
Lord
,
sent
vnto
vs
thy
measure
,
thou
hast
giuen
vs
thy
squire
,
whereby
to
measure
and
rule
our
liues
:
thou
hast
sent
,
I
say
,
vnto
vs
thy
Gospell
,
thy
holie
word
,
the
light
of
thy
déerely
beloued
Sonne
Iesus
Christ
,
whereby
we
may
guid
our selues
,
&
direct
our
waies
vpon
the
earth
.
And
when
we
shall
thus
liue
,
when
we
shall
once
begin
so
to
direct
our
doings
,
as
Gods
Gospell
teacheth
,
&
his
holie
word
commaundeth
vs
;
then
shall
the
earth
bring
forth
her
increase
,
then
shall
she
yeeld
vs
her
fruit
in
due
season
.
For
like
as
God
.
when
we
turne
from
him
,
following
our
owne
lusts
and
desires
,
plagueth
and
punisheth
vs
:
so
when
we
repent
and
returne
vnto
him
,
he
is
good
,
he
is
louing
,
he
is
mercifull
vnto
vs
.
Turne
vnto
me
,
Ieremie
,
and
I
will
turne
vnto
you
.
When
soeuer
a
sinner
repenteth
him
of
his
sinnes
,
I
will
forget
his
iniquities
,
saith
the
Lord
.
It
is
the
Lord
that
gyueth
vs
fruit
,
it
is
the
Lord
that
maketh
the
ground
fertile
;
it
is
not
the
ground
of
it selfe
that
bringeth
forth
fruit
,
it
is
not
the
corne
that
féedeth
vs
,
it
is
the
blessing
of
God
,
the
blessing
I
say
of
God
alone
.
And
therefore
saith
the
prophet
Dauid
,
If
thou
O
Lord
,
wilt
open
thy
hand
,
then
all
things
shall
be
filled
with
thy
blessing
.
It
is
the
Lord
that
maketh
the
Sunne
to
shyne
,
Sciant
quòd
manus
tua
fecit
haec
,
Let
them
know
,
O
Lord
,
saith
he
,
that
thy
hand
alone
hath
done
these
wonders
.
It
is
God
,
I
say
,
that
causeth
the
earth
to
be
fruitfull
,
and
bring
forth
increase
,
it
is
God
that
causeth
the
heauens
to
heare
the
earth
,
the
earth
to
crie
vnto
the
Heauens
.
Your
harts
shall
be
full
of
my
blessing
,
saith
the
Lord
.
If
we
shall
forsake
our
sinnes
,
if
we
will
leaue
our
wickednesse
,
and
turne
vnto
God
,
our
harts
shall
be
full
of
his
blessing
,
and
then
shall
the
earth
bring
forth
her
increase
:
the
earth
this
dead
thing
,
this
vnsensible
thing
,
this
masse
of
clay
,
at
Gods
commaundement
,
at
his
will
and
pleasure
,
it
shall
bring
forth
corne
,
it
shall
bring
forth
grasse
,
and
all
other
kind
of
fruits
,
to
serue
them
,
that
neuer
thinke
vpon
him
that
bestowed
them
.
O
that
wée
were
kinde
,
that
wée
were
not
vnmindfull
,
that
we
would
remember
God
:
But
alas
,
wée
are
vnkind
,
we
are
vnmindfull
,
we
neyther
thinke
on
God
,
nor
his
works
:
and
therefore
God
closeth
vp
his
hand
,
therefore
he
gyueth
not
vnto
vs
hys
blessing
,
therefore
is
the
earth
barren
and
vnfruitfull
.
And
this
our
owne
sinnes
causeth
,
this
our
owne
wickednesse
,
and
sinfull
lyuing
causeth
.
Ose
the
prophet
vnto
the
people
of
Israel
,
(
when
they
had
forsaken
God
their
Lord
,
and
therefore
were
gréeuously
punished
)
cried
out
and
said
,
Malum
tuum
ex
te
ô
Israel
,
Thy
euill
is
come
of
thy selfe
O
Israel
.
All
this
scarsitie
,
all
this
dearth
,
all
this
plague
,
commeth
of
thy selfe
alone
:
Thou
art
,
saith
he
,
the
cause
,
thou
thy selfe
art
the
cause
hereof
.
And
euen
as
they
were
the
cause
of
their
plague
,
so
are
we
the
only
cause
of
all
this
our
punishment
:
and
yet
we
sée
not
,
nor
know
Gods
anger
.
I
haue
striken
thee
,
saith
God
by
his
prophet
,
and
yet
thou
feelest
not
:
and
where
shall
I
strike
thee
once
againe
?
I
haue
bred
vp
,
I
haue
nourished
vp
children
,
and
they
despise
me
,
they
set
nought
by
mée
,
they
will
not
acknowledge
mée
their
father
.
Good
Bretheren
,
let
vs
turne
vnto
God
,
let
vs
amend
our
sinfull
lyuing
,
let
vs
submit
our selues
wholy
to
his
mercie
:
so
shall
the
earth
bring
forth
her
increase
,
so
shal
she
yéeld
vs
her
fruit
in
due
time
&
season
.
Let
vs
consider
the
dignitie
that
God
hath
giuen
vs
:
he
made
vs
in
Paradise
,
he
fashioned
vs
to
his
owne
likenesse
,
he
breathed
life
into
vs
;
and
lastly
,
where
we
by
the
fall
of
our
first
parent
Adam
,
were
all
adiudged
to
eternall
death
,
he
redéemed
vs
again
by
the
blood
of
his
déere
Sonne
,
and
Passion
of
our
Sauior
Iesus
Christ
.
Behold
these
things
,
and
be
not
vnthankfull
.
Let
vs
(
good
Bretheren
)
behold
our selues
,
let
vs
behold
our
owne
vocation
,
our
owne
profession
,
let
vs
behold
Christ
our
Sauior
.
We
are
the
children
of
God
,
the
bretheren
of
Christ
,
and
heyres
of
the
euerlasting
kingdom
;
we
are
Christian
men
,
we
professe
Gods
Gospell
:
let
vs
therfore
remember
that
we
must
walke
as
becommeth
the
seruants
of
Christ
,
we
must
liue
like
the
professors
of
Gods
holie
Gospell
.
Let
vs
remember
how
many
wayes
God
calleth
vs
,
how
diuersly
he
allureth
vs
vnto
him
,
by
what
sundry
meanes
he
prouoketh
vs
to
come
vnto
him
.
O
thou
proud
soule
,
sayth
God
by
his
prophet
,
thou
earth
&
ashes
,
when
wilt
thou
forsake
thy
sinfull
lyuing
and
come
vnto
me
?
when
wilt
thou
repent
and
turne
vnto
me
?
Alas
,
do
we
looke
that
the
stones
in
the
stréets
,
the
verie
stones
vnder
our
féete
should
rise
vp
,
and
call
vs
to
repentance
?
The
heauens
drop
downe
teares
for
our
sake
,
they
wéepe
and
are
sorie
for
vs
;
and
wilt
not
thou
O
man
burst
out
in
teares
,
and
bewaile
thy
sinfull
life
?
God
looketh
when
we
will
come
,
he
wayteth
when
we
will
returne
vnto
him
,
he
daily
and
hourely
watcheth
when
we
will
submit
our selues
,
&
receiue
his
mercie
.
So
louing
,
so
good
,
so
gratious
a
Lord
is
he
.
Why
should
you
perish
,
saith
Christ
,
giue
me
thy
hart
,
O
thou
man
,
and
I
am
contented
.
Let
vs
all
therefore
my
Bretheren
,
let
vs
all
returne
vnto
God
,
let
vs
altogether
come
forth
&
confesse
Gods
holie
name
;
let
our
hands
,
our
mouthes
,
our
harts
,
praise
and
laud
him
for
euer
:
let
all
the
people
reioyce
and
be
glad
,
that
God
iudgeth
the
folke
righteously
,
and
gouerneth
the
Nations
vpon
the
earth
.
So
shall
the
earth
bring
forth
her
increase
,
so
shall
shée
yéeld
vs
her
fruit
in
due
season
:
so
shall
we
be
blessed
in
our
houses
,
blessed
in
the
fields
,
blessed
in
our
commings
in
,
and
our
goings
out
:
so
shall
our
corne
,
our
cattell
,
our
shéepe
,
and
oxen
,
be
alwayes
blessed
:
and
so
shall
Gods
blessing
be
vpon
vs
,
and
our
Children
,
and
God
,
euen
our
owne
God
shall
blesse
vs
,
and
remaine
with
vs
for
euer
.
Amen
.
THE
THIRD
Sermon

Rom.

19.
Like
as
ye
haue
giuen
ouer
your
members
to
the
seruice
of
vncleannesse
,
from
one
wickednesse
to
an
other
:
euen
so
now
also
giue
ouer
your
members
,
to
the
seruice
of
righteousnesse
,
that
ye
may
be
holie
&c.
FOr
the
better
vnderstanding
of
these
words
written
by
the
Apostle
S.
Paul
,
we
must
consider
that
there
be
two
Princes
of
contrary
dispositions
and
natures
,
which
haue
the
rule
and
gouernance
of
this
world
,
that
is
to
wit
,
God
,
and
the
Deuill
;
and
that
neuer
was
there
man
,
sithence
the
first
foundation
of
the
world
,
but
was
in
subiection
and
vnder
obedience
either
of
the
the
one
,
or
of
the
other
:
And
as
God
is
the
father
of
light
,
the
God
of
all
good
men
,
so
is
the
Deuill
the
father
&
Prince
of
this
world
,
the
Lord
of
darknesse
,
the
king
of
this
age
,
They
walked
in
the
shadow
of
death
.
But
after
that
it
pleased
God
the
Father
,
by
the
comming
of
his
déere
Sonne
Iesus
Christ
,
to
reueale
himselfe
vnto
them
,
to
open
and
declare
his
Gospell
among
them
,
then
began
the
people
to
renounce
the
Deuill
,
to
forsake
his
Law
and
seruice
,
and
to
betake
themselues
wholy
to
the
gouernance
of
God
.
And
therefore
S.
Paul
,
the
further
to
incourage
them
thereunto
,
willeth
them
in
this
Epistle
of
his
,
That
like
as
before
time
they
gaue
ouer
their
members
to
the
seruice
of
vncleannesse
,
from
one
wickednesse
to
another
,
so
should
they
now
giue
ouer
the
same
their
members
,
to
the
seruice
of
righteousnesse
.
For
,
to
this
end
was
Christ
borne
into
this
world
,
to
this
end
liued
he
here
among
vs
,
to
this
end
preached
he
,
and
taught
the
people
Gods
holie
word
,
that
we
by
his
example
,
and
the
doctrine
of
his
Gospell
,
should
liue
an
vpright
and
holie
life
.
And
therfore
Zacharie
that
holie
prophet
,
being
filled
with
the
holie
Ghost
prophesied
,
and
said
,
before
Christs
birth
,
that
Christ
should
for
this
cause
appeare
in
this
world
,
That
we
being
by
him
deliuered
from
the
feare
of
our
enimies
,
might
serue
him
in
purenesse
and
holinesse
all
the
daies
of
our
life
.
And
S.
Paul
likewise
saith
,
Ye
were
darkenesse
,
but
now
ye
are
light
,
walke
therefore
as
becommeth
the
children
of
light
.
Therefore
are
we
deliuered
from
the
power
of
darkenesse
,
saith
S.
Paul
,
that
we
should
walke
in
the
light
,
and
haue
no
fellowship
with
the
vnfruitfull
workes
of
darknesse
.
And
so
in
like
,
Vocauit
nos
Deus
,
non
ad
immunditiem
,
sed
ad
sanctitatem
,
God
hath
not
called
vs
to
vncleannesse
,
but
to
holynesse
and
sanctitie
of
life
.
Thus
hath
he
called
vs
,
that
we
not
only
in
Body
,
but
in
Soule
,
should
be
pure
&
vnspotted
.
And
therefore
S.
Paul
vnto
the
Romanes
,
Know
you
not
,
saith
he
,
that
all
we
which
are
baptized
into
Iesus
Christ
,
Therefore
are
we
buried
with
him
by
Baptisme
into
death
,
that
like
as
Christ
was
raised
vp
from
the
dead
,
euen
so
also
should
we
walke
in
a
new
life
.
And
for
this
cause
this
same
Paul
likewise
saith
,
Exhibete
vos
tanquam
viua
membra
,
Shew
your selues
as
quicke
and
liuely
members
.
And
in
an
other
place
,
Exhibete
corpora
vestra
sacrificium
sanctum
&
acceptatum
Deo
.
Giue
ouer
your
bodies
for
a
sacrifice
holie
and
acceptable
before
God
.
And
also
,
Nescities
corpora
vestra
esse
templa
Dei
?
Know
you
not
that
ye
are
the
temple
of
God
,
and
that
the
spirit
of
God
dwelleth
in
you
?
These
and
such
other
many
lessons
hath
S.
Paul
giuen
vs
,
to
call
vs
vnto
purenesse
and
holynesse
of
life
.
Let
vs
therefore
,
(
good
Bretheren
)
liue
holy
;
consider
that
God
hath
not
called
you
to
vncleannesse
,
but
to
puritie
of
life
;
consider
if
yée
be
baptized
with
Christ
into
death
,
you
must
also
walke
with
him
in
a
new
life
:
let
your
bodies
be
a
sacrifice
holie
&
acceptable
vnto
God
:
shew
your selues
liuely
members
of
Christ
,
and
the
Temple
of
the
holie
Ghost
.
Vocauit
nos
Deus
,
Vt
viueremus
sobriè
,
God
hath
called
vs
,
God
hath
appointed
vs
,
to
liue
in
sobernesse
,
to
liue
in
purenesse
,
to
liue
in
holynesse
:
and
this
not
in
one
part
of
our
Bodies
,
not
in
one
part
of
our
Soules
,
but
in
our
whole
bodies
,
in
our
whole
soules
.
For
Christ
our
Sauior
suffred
not
his
bodie
to
be
crucified
in
one
part
,
Sed
à
planta
pedis
,
vsque
ad
summum
capitis
,
But
euen
from
the
sole
of
the
foote
,
to
the
crowne
of
his
head
,
was
he
beaten
,
rent
,
and
torne
,
and
miserably
tormented
in
his
whole
Bodie
.
His
Bodie
was
scourged
with
whips
,
his
head
prickt
with
thornes
,
his
hands
and
féete
nayled
to
the
Crosse
,
his
side
pierced
with
a
sharp
speare
.
For
Christ
speaking
of
himselfe
,
saith
,
Foderunt
manus
meas
,
&
pedes
meos
,
They
haue
digged
my
hands
,
and
my
feete
,
they
haue
made
holes
thorough
them
.
And
thus
sithence
Christ
suffred
all
his
whole
Body
to
be
tormented
for
vs
,
sithence
he
suffred
all
his
members
to
be
crucified
for
our
sakes
;
let
vs
applie
our selues
,
and
all
our
member
to
serue
and
please
him
in
holynesse
and
vpright
lyuing
all
the
dayes
of
our
liues
.
And
therefore
saith
s
.
Paul
here
,
Ye
haue
now
betaken
your selues
vnto
Christ
;
therefore
let
your
conuersation
be
according
,
liue
as
becommeth
the
seruants
of
Christ
:
For
euen
as
before
this
time
,
ye
gaue
ouer
your
members
to
vncleannesse
,
from
one
wickednesse
to
an
other
,
so
now
giue
ouer
your
members
to
the
seruice
of
righteousnesse
.
And
such
(
good
Bretheren
)
was
the
life
of
all
Christian
men
,
in
the
beginning
of
Gods
Church
:
such
was
,
I
say
,
their
life
&
lyuing
.
They
subdued
their
flesh
,
they
mortified
their
members
,
and
gaue
them
ouer
wholy
vnto
Christ
,
and
so
made
them
members
vnto
righteousnesse
.
When
Christ
walked
here
on
this
earth
,
&
was
conuersant
in
our
flesh
,
and
this
nature
of
ours
;
at
what
time
he
entered
into
the
house
of
Zacheus
,
which
was
a
Ruler
of
the
Publicans
,
&
desired
to
sée
Iesus
,
by
and
by
Zacheus
was
turned
into
a
new
man
,
and
by
and
by
he
stoode
forth
,
and
said
vnto
the
Lord
:
Behold
Lord
,
the
halfe
of
my
goods
I
giue
vnto
the
poore
,
and
if
I
haue
defrauded
any
man
,
I
restore
him
foure
fold
.
Thus
was
he
only
by
the
presence
of
Christ
,
turned
into
a
new
man
,
thus
he
of
an
vncircumcised
Publican
was
made
the
child
of
Abraham
,
and
of
a
sinfull
and
wretched
creature
,
he
became
forthwith
a
Christian
.
And
so
in
like
,
when
Christ
had
but
once
called
vnto
Mathew
,
The
people
come
to
learne
the
Gospell
,
to
heare
the
word
of
God
;
and
wherefore
?
that
they
might
worke
according
vnto
the
Gospell
,
that
they
might
bring
forth
fruits
worthie
the
word
of
God
:
that
they
may
thus
doo
,
therfore
they
heare
Gods
word
,
saith
S.
Cyprian
.
And
thus
if
wée
do
not
,
what
euer
we
brag
of
our
Redemption
,
what
euer
we
brag
of
our
profession
,
what
euer
we
boast
of
the
knowledge
of
Gods
Gospell
,
it
is
to
no
end
,
it
is
not
to
effect
or
purpose
.
And
therefore
if
we
haue
heretofore
time
giuen
ouer
our
members
vnto
vncleannesse
,
from
one
wickednesse
vnto
an
other
,
now
let
vs
giue
ouer
the
same
our
members
vnto
the
seruice
of
righteousnesse
.
For
,
saith
S.
Paul
,
What
profit
,
what
fruit
had
ye
at
that
time
in
those
things
,
whereof
you
are
now
ashamed
?
for
the
end
of
such
things
is
death
.
It
is
the
part
of
a
wise
man
,
and
the
office
of
a
discréet
man
,
in
such
good
order
to
dispose
all
his
businesse
,
and
to
bring
all
his
doings
to
so
good
end
,
that
he
take
no
foile
,
nor
haue
any
shame
therefore
.
Ye
haue
committed
sin
(
saith
saint
Paul
)
yée
haue
giuen
ouer
your
members
from
one
wickednesse
to
another
,
and
now
ye
be
ashamed
,
now
are
ye
sorie
for
those
your
misdoings
:
But
what
profit
then
had
yee
of
those
things
,
whereof
you
are
now
ashamed
?
This
is
an
horrour
,
and
the
greatest
horrour
that
may
be
,
that
no
man
can
commit
sin
without
a
great
burden
of
conscience
,
without
great
torment
&
disquietnesse
of
minde
.
Iudas
,
when
he
had
betraied
his
master
Christ
,
Why
dost
thou
lowre
?
Such
a
thing
is
sin
,
that
whosoeuer
committeth
it
,
it
will
forthwith
appeare
in
his
face
,
it
will
appeare
and
shew
in
his
countenance
.
But
happie
is
that
man
that
soonest
commeth
to
repentance
,
happie
is
he
that
is
soonest
sorie
for
his
sins
and
misdoings
.
Adam
,
Adam
,
vbies
?
Where
art
thou
?
He
answered
;
I
am
fled
away
Lord
,
I
hide
my selfe
.
And
why
fled
he
away
,
why
hid
he
himselfe
from
the
sight
of
God
?
because
he
was
ashamed
.
O
father
,
I
haue
sinned
against
Heauen
and
against
thee
.
And
why
said
he
thus
?
because
he
was
ashamed
.
The
people
in
the
time
of
Daniel
the
Prophet
,
Shame
is
come
vpon
vs
,
shame
and
confusion
is
this
day
fallen
vpon
vs
.
Dauid
the
Prophet
,
when
hee
had
by
tyranie
caused
his
faithfull
and
trustie
seruant
Vrie
to
be
slaine
,
Miserere
mei
quoniam
iniquitatem
meam
ego
cognosco
,
Haue
mercie
vpon
me
,
O
Lord
,
because
I
know
mine
iniquities
.
And
why
said
he
thus
?
because
he
was
ashamed
.
Ieremie
,
Postquam
ostendisti
mihi
peccata
mea
,
erubui
:
After
thou
hadst
,
O
Lord
,
shewed
me
mine
offences
,
I
was
ashamed
(
said
he
.
)
Thus
(
good
brethren
)
a
wicked
conscience
euermore
beareth
shame
about
with
it
,
euermore
carieth
a
most
heauie
burden
,
euermore
is
prickt
and
tormented
,
and
neuer
at
quiet
.
And
though
some
men
there
bee
,
so
giuen
ouer
vnto
sinne
,
that
they
féele
no
shame
in
this
life
,
that
are
not
moued
in
their
conscience
in
this
world
,
yet
may
they
assure
themselues
they
shall
féele
bitter
torments
in
the
world
to
come
,
and
eternall
shame
that
neuer
shall
haue
end
.
And
if
there
bee
any
that
will
now
say
,
as
the
people
in
the
time
of
Daniel
did
;
whatsoeuer
we
doe
,
God
will
not
looke
vnto
vs
,
hee
regardeth
not
our
doings
,
whether
wee
doe
good
or
euill
,
God
hath
no
respect
vnto
it
;
and
so
bee
nothing
moued
in
their
conscience
for
their
sinful
liuing
:
when
they
shal
be
cast
into
vtter
darknesse
where
shall
be
wéeping
and
gnashing
of
téeth
,
then
shall
their
conscience
be
moued
with
repentance
,
then
shall
they
bee
ashamed
;
but
then
al
too
late
.
They
shal
say
vnto
the
Hils
,
fall
vpon
vs
,
vnto
the
mountains
,
comecouer
vs
:
then
shal
their
owne
wicked
conscience
accuse
them
,
then
shall
they
be
ashamed
,
but
then
too
late
.
Now
(
good
brethren
)
what
profit
had
all
these
of
their
owne
sinfulnesse
,
what
profit
and
commoditie
had
they
of
all
their
wickednesse
?
What
profit
had
Adam
by
transgressing
the
commaundement
of
God
?
What
profit
had
Cain
for
murthering
of
his
brother
?
What
profit
wan
the
prodigall
Son
by
mispending
of
his
fathers
goods
?
What
profit
had
the
people
in
the
time
of
Daniel
,
for
their
misliuing
?
What
profit
had
Dauid
by
killing
of
Vrie
?
What
profit
had
the
rich
glutton
that
liued
in
such
pleasure
?
What
profit
(
I
say
)
had
all
these
of
their
owne
wickednesse
?
No
profit
,
no
commoditie
,
no
pleasure
a●
al
,
but
shame
,
nothing
els
but
shame
and
confusion
.
Euen
so
here
S.
Paul
;
What
profit
(
said
he
)
had
yee
then
of
all
those
things
,
of
which
yee
are
now
ashamed
?
It
appeareth
well
yée
haue
gotten
nothing
but
displesure
,
nothing
but
shame
and
confusion
.
For
the
end
of
such
things
is
death
.
And
this
that
is
well
spoken
of
honestie
of
life
,
this
that
is
well
applyed
to
honest
conuersation
,
may
wel
be
spoken
and
applied
to
Religion
.
For
it
behooueth
a
man
so
to
worship
God
,
that
hee
haue
no
shame
,
no
confusion
therefore
.
But
alas
,
from
the
beginning
,
euen
from
the
first
creation
of
man
,
there
haue
bin
good
,
there
haue
bin
bad
:
some
there
hath
bin
,
that
forsaking
the
liuing
God
,
haue
worshiped
their
own
deuises
:
some
in
stéed
of
God
,
haue
worshipped
stocks
and
stones
:
some
haue
sacrificed
to
the
Sun
and
Moone
,
Ibimus
&
sacrificabimus
Lunae
Reginae
caeli
:
We
wil
do
sacrifice
&
offer
oblations
vnto
the
Queen
of
heauen
:
for
so
(
said
they
)
our
Fathers
did
,
and
did
prosper
in
their
doings
.
And
this
hath
béene
euen
from
the
beginning
.
The
Babilonians
worshipped
Bell
their
God
,
Isti
sunt
Dij
tui
,
These
are
thy
Gods
,
O
Israell
,
these
are
they
that
brought
thée
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
,
and
deliuered
thée
.
Wée
read
also
that
they
worshipped
a
Brasen
Serpent
,
Verè
patres
nostri
coluerunt
mendatia
,
truly
our
forefathers
followed
after
lies
.
The
Gentiles
,
when
they
perceiued
that
the
Sun
&
Moon
their
chief
Gods
,
were
indéed
no
gods
,
&
able
to
do
them
no
pleasure
,
then
they
were
ashamed
.
When
the
people
of
Babilon
saw
&
vnderstood
their
own
folly
in
worshiping
their
God
Bell
&
their
Dragon
,
&
that
they
were
not
such
,
as
they
tooke
them
to
be
,
then
were
they
ashamed
.
And
so
in
like
,
when
the
Iewes
saw
before
their
eyes
their
golden
Calfe
molten
,
and
their
brasen
Serpent
broken
&
ground
into
poulder
,
then
were
they
ashamed
,
then
were
they
sorie
and
ashamed
of
their
former
doings
.
Thus
saith
the
Prophet
Esaie
,
or
rather
God
by
the
mouth
of
his
Prophet
,
Why
offer
yee
so
many
sacrifices
vnto
me
?
offer
me
no
moe
oblations
.
I
abhorre
your
incense
,
I
may
not
away
with
your
new
moones
and
Sabbathes
.
I
am
troubled
with
them
,
I
am
wearie
of
them
,
Quis
ista
requirit
?
Who
looketh
for
these
things
,
who
commandeth
you
so
to
doe
?
Esaie
in
another
place
also
;
Why
doe
you
lay
out
your
money
for
the
thing
that
feedeth
not
,
and
spend
your
labour
about
the
thing
that
satisfieth
not
?
And
so
likewise
in
another
place
the
same
prophet
saith
;
They
make
my
people
forget
my
name
,
for
their
owne
traditions
.
He
saith
also
;
Taelas
aranearum
texunt
,
They
weaue
the
Spiders
web
,
they
doe
nothing
els
but
breed
the
Cockatrice
egs
,
and
weaue
the
Spiders
webbe
,
saith
he
.
And
so
Ieremie
cried
out
,
my
people
,
saith
God
by
his
Prophet
Ieremie
,
haue
forsaken
men
their
Lord
,
and
digged
themselues
pits
that
can
hold
no
water
.
Sordes
,
drosse
:
Ieremie
calleth
it
chaffe
:
Malachie
,
very
mans
dung
:
Zacharie
,
Gods
curse
.
Christ
himselfe
calleth
it
,
Fermentum
Pharisaeorum
,
the
leuen
of
the
Pharisies
:
Hée
calleth
it
also
,
Tenebras
,
vtter
darkenesse
.
Thus
it
pleased
God
to
describe
vnto
vs
mans
inuention
,
to
call
it
cobwebs
,
to
call
it
filth
,
to
call
it
drosse
,
and
chaffe
,
mans
dung
,
Gods
curse
,
the
leuen
of
the
Pharisies
,
and
vtter
darkenesse
.
And
this
doth
he
for
none
other
purpose
,
than
onely
to
make
his
people
ashamed
of
their
owne
deuises
.
Viri
fratres
quid
faciemus
?
O
men
&
brethren
what
shall
we
do
.
The
Ephesians
,
when
S.
Paul
had
preached
vnto
them
,
Paul
,
Cum
essem
paruulus
,
sentiebam
vt
paruulus
,
When
I
was
a
child
,
I
spake
as
a
child
,
I
vnderstood
as
a
child
,
I
imagined
as
a
child
.
But
as
soone
as
I
was
a
man
,
I
left
all
childishnesse
:
Now
I
am
become
a
man
,
and
therfore
I
am
now
ashamed
of
my
childishnesse
Thus
might
the
Prophets
haue
said
to
the
Gentiles
,
what
profit
had
you
of
your
gods
,
the
Sun
and
the
Moone
,
what
profit
had
you
of
them
,
wherof
yée
are
now
ashamed
?
So
might
Moyses
haue
said
to
the
children
of
Israel
,
what
profit
had
yée
in
this
golden
calfe
?
So
Ezechias
,
what
profit
had
yée
in
this
brasen
serpent
,
of
which
now
yée
are
ashamed
?
Euen
thus
Esay
might
likewise
haue
said
,
what
profit
had
yée
in
your
calends
,
&
new
Moones
,
in
your
holy
daies
and
sacrifices
?
And
so
other
the
Prophets
might
well
haue
said
,
what
profit
had
ye
in
your
dreames
,
in
your
spider
cobbes
,
in
your
drosse
,
in
your
chaffe
?
what
commoditie
had
yee
of
all
these
things
?
Alas
ye
are
now
ashamed
of
them
,
&
therefore
yee
had
no
profit
of
them
,
yée
had
no
pleasure
by
them
,
they
brought
you
no
commoditie
,
they
brought
you
only
shame
and
confusion
.
Thus
(
good
brethren
)
let
vs
weigh
and
consider
,
what
profit
wée
had
in
times
past
of
those
things
,
of
which
wée
are
now
ashamed
.
And
let
vs
consider
how
much
we
are
beholden
to
god
,
that
now
may
sée
and
know
our
owne
folly
and
ignorance
,
and
so
bée
ashamed
.
But
herein
,
good
brethren
,
there
néeds
not
many
words
:
for
there
is
no
man
so
blind
,
but
may
well
sée
,
no
man
so
deafe
,
but
may
well
heare
,
no
man
so
dull
,
but
may
wel
perceiue
and
vnderstand
,
the
great
errour
,
the
great
blindnesse
,
the
great
darknesse
,
that
we
haue
béene
in
.
And
therefore
let
vs
all
now
giue
God
thankes
,
that
hee
hath
restored
his
light
vnto
vs
,
and
taken
that
great
error
and
darknesse
from
vs
.
Loth
I
am
here
to
speake
of
those
things
whereof
we
may
be
ashamed
:
loth
and
sory
I
am
to
repeat
that
vnto
you
,
wherof
we
are
now
ashamed
:
but
this
place
now
requireth
the
same
,
this
time
and
place
willeth
me
somewhat
to
speake
thereof
.
The
time
hath
béene
,
that
we
haue
put
our
trust
in
pardons
,
in
Buls
of
the
Popes
,
in
vaine
scrolles
,
and
writings
of
his
;
yea
,
and
in
them
wée
haue
had
greater
hope
and
affiance
,
than
in
the
death
of
Christ
,
and
merits
of
his
passion
.
We
haue
fallen
downe
before
images
,
before
stocks
,
and
stones
,
such
as
had
eyes
,
and
saw
not
,
eares
,
and
heard
not
:
before
them
we
prayed
,
before
them
we
knéeled
,
and
stacke
vp
candles
.
But
now
we
are
ashamed
of
them
,
we
all
are
,
I
thinke
,
now
sory
and
ashamed
of
this
our
folly
:
but
what
profit
had
we
then
of
all
these
things
.
Sometime
wee
prayed
in
a
strange
tongue
,
in
a
tongue
that
we
vnderstood
not
:
we
prayed
contrarie
to
the
vse
that
was
in
the
Patriarchs
times
,
in
the
Prophets
times
,
in
the
Apostles
times
:
but
then
what
profit
had
wee
of
those
prayers
,
whereof
we
are
now
ashamed
?
We
haue
séene
lawfull
marriage
forbidden
,
and
mens
lawfull
wiues
taken
from
them
:
and
yet
the
vse
of
a
concubine
graunted
,
as
though
God
were
displeased
with
marriage
,
&
pleased
with
whooredome
:
but
what
profit
had
yée
then
of
that
thing
,
of
which
yée
are
now
ashamed
?
We
had
Baptisme
,
but
we
vnderstood
not
the
principles
of
our
faith
:
&
euen
as
the
Prophet
spake
of
his
time
,
Qualis
populus
,
talis
Sacerdos
,
the
Priest
is
become
like
the
people
:
so
might
wee
well
haue
said
of
our
owne
time
;
blind
were
they
both
,
and
therefore
both
fell
into
the
dike
.
This
we
are
now
ashamed
of
,
but
what
profit
had
we
then
therby
?
The
Prophets
(
said
Ieremy
)
teach
falsly
,
and
the
Priests
follow
them
,
&
my
people
hath
pleasure
therein
.
And
lo
,
euen
this
same
which
the
Prophet
Ieremie
said
,
the
Priests
and
Prophets
did
in
his
time
,
we
our selues
haue
séene
done
in
our
dayes
,
and
now
we
are
ashamed
thereof
:
but
what
profit
had
we
then
by
it
?
We
had
the
Sacrament
of
Christs
bodie
,
but
we
knew
not
why
Christ
instituted
the
same
,
wée
knew
not
why
Christ
left
vs
that
Sacrament
;
wée
did
all
things
contrary
to
Christs
institution
.
Christ
ordained
a
Communion
,
but
wée
had
a
priuat
Masse
:
Christ
ordained
,
that
the
whole
people
should
receiue
in
both
kinds
,
but
wée
ministred
it
vnder
one
kind
alone
:
Christ
,
when
hée
instituted
this
Sacrament
,
spake
in
the
common
tongue
that
all
might
vnderstand
him
:
but
wée
contrarie
to
Christ
,
contrarie
to
the
Apostles
,
contrarie
to
the
primitiue
Church
,
consecrated
the
same
in
an
vnknowne
tongue
,
that
no
man
might
vnderstand
vs
.
And
hereof
are
we
now
ashamed
,
but
what
profit
had
we
then
thereby
?
We
haue
knowne
this
to
bée
taught
,
that
the
bread
in
the
Sacrament
was
turned
into
the
verie
bodie
and
blood
of
Christ
our
Sauiour
:
this
we
al
know
,
and
do
yet
remember
.
But
Christ
,
when
hee
said
,
the
Sacrament
should
bee
turned
,
meant
not
that
the
bread
should
bée
turned
into
his
bodie
,
but
that
we
which
receiue
the
same
shold
be
turned
,
that
we
,
I
say
,
should
be
turned
,
&
made
one
body
with
him
.
This
was
the
meaning
,
this
I
say
,
was
the
meaning
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
.
And
therfore
S.
Paul
,
Panis
quem
frangimus
,
participatio
corporis
&
sanguinis
Christi
est
,
the
bread
which
we
breake
is
the
participation
of
the
body
and
blood
of
Christ
.
For
we
many
are
one
bread
,
&
one
body
in
as
much
as
we
all
are
partakers
of
one
bread
.
I
wil
drinke
no
more
of
the
liquor
of
the
vine
:
Christ
,
I
say
,
after
the
consecration
,
said
hée
would
not
drinke
any
more
of
the
liquor
of
the
Vine
:
The
bloud
of
Christ
is
not
Wine
,
it
is
not
the
liquor
of
the
vine
.
Saint
Augustine
,
in
Sermone
ad
Infantes
,
saith
plainly
,
Quod
videtis
in
mensa
panis
est
:
that
which
you
see
on
the
table
,
is
bread
.
Theodoretus
also
,
Non
mutatur
substantia
panis
,
the
substance
&
nature
of
the
bread
is
not
changed
,
sayth
he
.
Gelasius
likewise
,
whom
peraduenture
yée
will
the
more
credit
,
because
hée
was
sometime
bishop
of
Rome
,
saith
,
Non
desinit
esse
substantia
panis
,
there
leaueth
not
to
bee
the
substance
of
bread
.
Natura
panis
in
Sacramento
remanet
,
the
nature
of
the
bread
remaineth
in
the
Sacrament
.
Chrysostome
also
,
Non
mutatur
substantia
panis
,
the
substance
of
the
bread
is
not
altered
.
I
could
say
more
,
but
this
is
for
this
time
ynough
;
this
onely
I
trust
,
amongst
a
number
of
other
,
shall
be
now
sufficient
to
perswade
you
the
truth
herein
.
Yée
sée
here
that
S.
Augustine
,
Theodoretus
,
Gelasius
,
and
Saint
Chrysostome
do
all
affirme
,
and
herein
agrée
;
that
the
substance
or
nature
of
the
bread
,
after
the
consecration
is
not
changed
.
Let
vs
therefore
,
good
brethren
,
notwithstanding
we
haue
béene
otherwise
taught
,
let
vs
,
I
say
,
beléeue
these
holy
Doctors
,
let
vs
credit
them
;
they
wil
not
mocke
vs
,
they
will
not
deceiue
nor
beguile
vs
.
But
this
other
doctrine
,
this
doctrine
of
transubstantiation
,
was
of
late
deuised
,
not
past
thrée
hundred
yeres
agoe
,
in
the
councell
of
Laterane
.
And
there
,
vpon
this
new
deuise
of
theirs
,
they
made
a
great
solemne
,
and
festiuall
day
,
and
called
it
,
Corpus
Christi
day
.
And
now
we
are
ashamed
of
this
:
but
then
what
commoditie
,
what
profit
had
we
thereof
?
We
found
out
of
our selues
a
new
sacrifice
,
the
sacrifice
(
I
mean
)
of
the
masse
,
as
though
the
death
of
Christ
had
not
béene
a
sacrifice
sufficient
,
as
though
Christs
blood
had
not
once
for
al
washed
away
our
iniquities
,
as
though
Christ
had
not
said
,
I
haue
paid
the
ransome
for
your
sins
.
It
were
an
infinit
labor
to
repeat
vnto
you
particularly
,
all
the
abuses
of
late
dayes
vsed
in
the
Church
of
Christ
;
you
your selues
can
well
remember
them
,
I
néed
not
here
to
rehearse
them
vnto
you
.
But
then
what
profit
had
ye
of
al
such
things
of
which
you
are
now
ashamed
?
But
some
men
there
bee
peraduenture
,
that
wil
not
be
ashamed
of
these
abuses
,
but
alwaies
vphold
&
maintain
the
same
:
&
such
if
there
be
any
,
they
are
like
them
whom
Ieremie
prophesied
of
,
saying
:
Thou
hast
taken
an
harlots
countenance
thou
hast
gotten
thee
a
whores
forehead
,
and
canst
not
be
ashamed
:
they
are
like
them
also
whom
Esay
the
Prophet
speaketh
of
,
&
saith
,
Malice
hath
made
you
blind
,
you
barke
against
the
truth
.
This
is
the
sin
that
neuer
will
bée
forgiuen
,
this
is
so
great
an
offence
,
that
it
wil
neuer
be
pardoned
.
Therefore
let
vs
,
to
whom
God
hath
giuen
eyes
to
sée
,
eares
to
heare
,
&
harts
of
vnderstanding
:
let
vs
I
say
,
consider
that
it
is
no
shame
to
confesse
our
errors
,
to
acknowledge
our
blindnesse
;
but
shame
it
is
to
continue
in
error
,
too
much
shame
it
is
to
remaine
stil
in
blindnesse
.
And
such
as
will
not
be
ashamed
of
their
euill
,
but
laugh
at
and
scorne
others
,
that
are
sory
and
ashamed
,
may
well
bée
likened
vnto
them
whom
saint
Paul
writing
to
the
Ephesians
speaketh
of
,
They
being
past
repentance
,
haue
giuen
themselues
ouer
vnto
wantonnesse
,
to
worke
al
maner
of
vncleannesse
,
euen
with
greedines
.
And
such
are
giuen
ouer
in
reprobum
sensum
,
into
a
lewd
mind
.
Such
Dauid
the
Prophet
speaketh
of
,
saying
:
They
cast
their
eies
downe
to
the
ground
.
For
such
as
wilfully
offend
,
and
wittingly
cast
away
themselues
,
there
is
no
saluation
Paul
saith
,
Finis
illorum
mors
est
,
their
end
is
death
,
their
end
is
onely
destruction
.
This
is
the
same
that
Saint
Iohn
speaketh
of
,
shall
be
forgiuen
in
this
world
,
nor
in
the
world
to
come
.
Wherefore
were
they
cast
into
hel
,
that
now
lye
therein
?
for
what
cause
continue
they
in
those
endlesse
tormentes
?
because
they
would
not
acknowledge
their
errors
,
because
they
would
not
be
ashamed
of
their
owne
folly
.
Wherefore
is
there
in
hell
,
fire
vnquenchable
,
torments
such
as
cannot
be
thought
,
vtter
darkenesse
,
and
eternall
death
,
but
onely
to
punish
such
as
wilfully
liue
in
wickednes
,
to
plague
them
that
wil
not
be
ashamed
of
their
sins
&
offences
.
They
shall
be
cast
into
vtter
darkenesse
,
where
shal
be
weeping
&
gnashing
of
teeth
,
into
fire
that
neuer
shall
be
quenched
,
where
the
worme
of
the
conscience
neuer
dieth
.
If
we
delight
in
couetousnesse
,
in
adultery
,
in
fornication
and
filthy
liuing
,
the
end
,
let
vs
say
,
is
death
,
the
end
thereof
is
none
other
than
eternall
death
.
Quis
habitabit
in
tabernaculo
tuo
?
said
Dauid
the
Prophet
,
O
Lord
,
who
shall
dwel
in
thy
Tabernacle
,
saith
he
,
or
who
shall
rest
vpon
thy
holy
hil
?
Euen
he
that
leadeth
an
vncorrupt
life
,
that
doth
the
thing
which
is
right
,
and
speaketh
the
truth
from
his
heart
:
Hee
that
hath
not
sworne
and
deceiued
his
neighbor
.
But
O
mercifull
God
,
who
walketh
now
innocently
?
who
leadeth
an
vncorrupt
life
?
who
doth
the
thing
that
is
right
?
who
speaketh
truth
from
his
heart
?
what
man
is
there
,
that
hath
not
sworne
and
deceiued
his
neighbour
?
Ieremie
speaking
of
the
people
in
his
time
,
saith
,
Confusi
sunt
,
imo
non
sunt
confusi
:
They
are
ashamed
,
nay
,
they
are
not
ashamed
,
saith
Ieremie
.
And
euen
so
may
we
of
our
daies
well
say
,
the
people
are
not
ashamed
,
they
are
nothing
sory
nor
ashamed
of
their
euill
liuing
.
These
S.
Paul
speaketh
of
,
writing
vnto
the
Philippians
:
I
speake
with
teares
,
they
are
the
enemies
of
Christs
crosse
,
their
end
is
damnation
,
their
glorie
shall
be
turned
into
shame
.
And
shall
we
then
liue
thus
?
shal
we
thus
dye
?
shall
we
thus
end
our
liues
?
shall
we
thus
appeare
at
the
later
day
,
and
not
be
ashamed
?
shall
adulterers
,
fornicators
,
whooremongers
,
couetous
persons

come
&
stand
before
the
iudgement
seat
of
God
,
before
the
throne
of
his
maiestie
,
and
not
bée
ashamed
?
Is
this
the
marriage
garment
that
wée
should
be
clad
with
?
are
we
those
that
are
called
to
the
feast
by
the
Bridegroome
?
are
we
Christs
brethren
,
and
heires
of
the
kingdome
of
God
?
No.
Non
resurgent
impij
in
indicio
,
the
wicked
shall
not
arise
in
iudgement
,
saith
the
Prophet
Dauid
,
the
vngodly
shal
not
be
able
to
stand
in
the
iudgement
,
neither
the
sinners
in
the
congregation
of
the
righteous
.
Wo
bee
vnto
them
that
run
from
God
with
a
desperat
mind
,
wo
bee
vnto
them
that
wilfully
forsake
,
and
fly
from
him
.
S.
Gregorie
saith
,
One
sinne
linketh
in
another
,
as
one
linke
of
a
chaine
holdeth
the
other
.
It
is
an
horrible
thing
to
turne
from
God
,
it
is
a
terrible
thing
to
flye
from
him
:
for
if
we
turne
from
God
,
whither
shall
wée
goe
?
if
wée
flye
from
him
,
whither
shall
we
run
?
Conscientia
mille
testes
,
our
owne
conscience
,
though
wee
hide
our selues
neuer
so
close
,
shall
be
as
a
thousand
witnesses
against
vs
,
our
owne
conscience
shall
vtter
and
bewray
vs
.
Saint
Augustine
saith
,
If
we
do
not
indeed
repent
,
we
faine
that
wee
doe
repent
,
wee
onely
faine
,
saith
he
,
that
we
do
repent
,
and
so
we
mocke
with
God
.
But
God
will
not
be
mocked
of
vs
,
he
will
not
bée
deluded
by
vs
.
But
we
shal
be
ashamed
and
confounded
,
when
we
appeare
before
God
,
when
wee
appeare
,
I
say
,
before
the
iudgement
seat
of
God
.
But
then
what
profit
shall
we
haue
of
that
we
are
ashamed
?
what
commoditie
shall
wée
then
haue
of
that
whereof
wee
are
ashamed
.
Let
vs
consider
,
that
we
are
flesh
of
Gods
flesh
,
bones
of
his
bones
,
and
members
of
his
members
.
And
therefore
let
vs
giue
ouer
our
whole
bodies
,
let
vs
giue
ouer
all
our
members
,
let
vs
giue
ouer
our
eyes
,
our
eares
,
our
tongues
,
our
hearts
,
vnto
the
homage
and
seruice
of
God
.
So
shall
wee
haue
profit
of
Christ
our
Sauiour
,
so
shall
we
haue
profit
of
his
death
and
passion
,
and
so
shall
Christ
say
vnto
vs
,
Come
yee
blessed
of
my
Father
,
and
inherit
the
kingdom
prepared
for
you
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
.
Amen

THE
FOVRTH
Sermon
.
Psalme
7.
vers.
11.
12.
13.
11.
God
is
a
righteous
Iudge
,
and
God
is
euer
threatning
.
12.
If
men
will
not
trune
,
he
hath
whet
his
sword
,
he
hath
bent
his
bow
,
and
made
it
ready
.
13.
He
hath
prepared
him
the
weapons
of
death
,
and
ordained
his
arrows
to
destroy
.
ALmightie
God
our
heauenly
Father
,
like
as
hée
is
both
good
,
&
also
mercifull
,
like
as
he
is
patient
,
and
of
long
sufferance
:
So
he
vseth
two
maner
of
wayes
to
allure
and
call
vs
vnto
him
,
when
we
of
our
owne
heads
follow
our
owne
deuises
,
and
lewdly
run
whither
our
lusts
leadeth
vs
:
Sometimes
of
his
great
mercie
hee
vseth
promises
;
sometimes
of
his
iustice
he
vseth
threatning
.
He
promiseth
to
vs
for
our
well
doing
,
his
fauour
and
grace
,
for
kéeping
his
commandements
eternall
blisse
.
He
threatneth
vs
for
euill
liuing
,
with
plagues
and
punishments
,
and
for
breaking
of
his
Law
,
eternall
death
.
Thus
hee
of
his
mercie
somtimes
vseth
promises
,
and
threatneth
againe
of
his
rigor
and
iustice
.
He
promiseth
to
comfort
,
aid
,
and
succour
vs
,
if
we
come
vnto
him
:
and
hée
threatneth
to
strike
the
terrour
of
death
into
vs
,
if
wee
turne
from
him
.
And
so
almightie
God
most
mercifully
vsed
his
promises
vnto
Abraham
.
Ego
sum
protector
tuus
&
merces
tua
,
I
am
(
said
he
)
thy
defender
and
thy
reward
:
Ego
benedicam
benedicentibus
tibi
,
&
maledicam
maledicentibus
tibi
,
I
wil
blesse
them
that
blesse
thee
,
and
curse
them
that
curse
thee
.
So
ample
,
so
large
.
so
great
a
promise
made
God
vnto
him
.
And
thus
almightie
God
when
he
wold
deliuer
his
elect
people
the
children
of
Israell
from
their
great
bondage
and
captiuitie
,
Inducam
te
in
terram
fluentem
lacte
&
melle
,
I
will
bring
you
into
a
land
that
shall
flow
with
milke
and
hony
;
this
will
I
performe
,
this
will
I
bring
to
passe
for
you
,
and
this
will
I
doe
for
my
names
sake
.
And
so
likewise
to
these
his
people
he
made
this
merciful
promise
against
their
enemies
,
Yee
shall
chase
your
enemies
,
and
they
shall
fall
into
the
sword
before
you
,
fiue
of
you
shal
chase
an
hundred
,
and
an
hundred
of
you
shall
chace
ten
thousand
.
Thus
also
God
by
his
Prophets
promised
his
people
,
Turne
vnto
mee
,
and
I
will
turne
vnto
you
.
And
euen
thus
likewise
Christ
in
the
Gospel
,
maketh
most
cleare
and
manifest
promises
of
euerlasting
life
and
saluation
to
all
such
as
for
his
name
shall
forsake
the
pleasures
and
delights
of
this
word
,
and
repose
their
felicitie
onely
in
him
:
Beati
pauperes
spiritu
,
beati
qui
lugeant
,
beati
qui
esuriunt
,
beati
qui
persequutionem
ferunt
:
Blessed
are
the
poore
in
spirit
,
blessed
are
they
that
mourne
,
blessed
are
they
that
hunger
&
thirst
,
blessed
are
they
that
suffer
persecution
.
And
why
so
?
For
what
cause
are
they
blessed
that
are
poore
in
spirit
?
For
what
cause
are
they
blessed
that
mourne
?
Why
are
they
happy
that
hunger
?
What
reward
shall
they
haue
that
suffer
persecution
?
because
(
saith
Christ
)
theirs
is
the
Kingdom
of
Heauen
,
they
shall
be
comforted
,
they
shall
bee
filled
,
they
shall
obtaine
a
crowne
of
glorie
.
When
two
or
three
are
gathered
together
in
my
name
I
will
bee
in
the
middest
of
them
.
Whatsoeuer
yee
shall
aske
my
father
in
my
name
,
it
shall
be
giuen
vnto
you
.
These
manifold
and
great
promises
it
pleased
almightie
God
to
make
vnto
his
chosen
&
elect
people
:
these
confortable
promises
Christ
himself
vouchsafed
to
pronounce
to
al
such
as
shal
cleaue
vnto
him
:
thus
mercifully
it
pleased
God
by
faire
promises
to
allure
and
win
vs
vnto
him
.
But
oftentimes
,
alas
,
we
set
little
or
nothing
by
these
swéet
&
comfortable
promises
,
we
little
estéem
or
regard
them
:
and
therfore
god
then
vseth
his
threatning
,
his
rigor
and
Iustice
among
vs
:
when
no
swéet
words
can
win
vs
,
then
hee
striketh
his
terror
into
vs
.
For
when
god
in
old
time
perceiued
that
no
gentlenes
,
no
kindnesse
,
no
mercy
of
his
could
win
his
people
vnto
him
,
he
caused
Esay
his
prophet
to
cry
out
&
said
;
Impius
in
beneficijs
me
non
aguouit
,
in
angustijs
autem
clamauit
ad
me
:
The
wicked
and
sinfull
man
(
saith
he
)
in
my
great
goodnesse
&
benefits
bestowed
vpon
him
,
would
not
acknowledge
nor
confesse
me
;
but
in
his
miserie
and
trouble
,
in
his
anguish
and
woe
,
then
he
ran
vnto
me
,
and
called
on
my
name
.
And
so
likewise
by
the
Prophet
Ieremie
God
him selfe
sayeth
;
Conuerterunt
ad
me
terga
,
non
faci●s
suas
:
in
die
autem
tribulationis
inclamant
me
:
They
haue
turned
their
backes
,
and
not
their
faces
vnto
me
:
but
in
the
day
of
their
trouble
,
in
the
time
of
necessitie
they
call
and
cry
vpon
me
.
And
so
in
like
the
same
Prophet
Ieremie
,
or
rather
God
by
this
Prophet
Impinguatus
&
incrassatus
est
populus
meus
,
My
people
are
waxen
fat
and
lustie
:
they
haue
forsaken
mee
the
well
of
life
,
and
digged
themselues
pits
,
yea
vile
and
broken
pits
that
can
hold
no
water
.
Such
a
thing
is
the
felicitie
and
pleasure
of
this
world
,
that
it
maketh
vs
soone
to
forget
God
,
and
the
felicitie
of
the
world
to
come
.
And
therfore
God
so
often
warned
his
people
of
Israel
,
In
quocunque
die
comederis
ex
hoc
fructu
,
mortem
morieris
,
In
what-euer
day
thou
shalt
tast
of
this
fruit
,
thou
shalt
dye
the
death
.
So
likewise
God
to
the
whole
multitude
of
his
people
of
Israell
said
;
Vnlesse
ye
giue
eare
to
the
voice
of
the
Lord
your
God
,
to
doe
all
his
commandements
and
ordinances
,
cursed
shall
you
be
in
the
towne
,
and
cursed
in
the
field
,
cursed
shall
thy
basket
be
and
thy
store
,
cursed
shal
be
the
fruit
of
thy
body
&
the
fruit
of
thy
land
,
cursed
shalt
thou
bee
in
thy
comming
in
,
&
in
thy
going
out
.
You
shall
call
,
and
I
will
not
heare
,
you
shall
cry
vnto
me
,
and
I
will
not
giue
eare
.
Dabo
vobis
caelum
aeneum
,
&
terram
ferreum
,
The
heauen
shall
be
as
brasse
,
and
the
earth
as
Iron
;
the
heauens
shall
giue
you
no
raine
,
the
earth
shall
bring
you
forth
no
fruit
,
your
trauell
and
labour
shal
be
lost
,
your
land
shal
not
giue
her
encrease
.
Thus
almightie
God
threatned
his
elect
&
chosen
people
,
and
all
to
kéep
them
in
awe
and
feare
of
him
.
And
so
in
another
place
he
saith
;
I
will
set
my
face
against
you
,
and
ye
shall
bee
slaine
before
your
enemies
,
and
they
that
hate
you
shall
haue
dominion
ouer
you
,
&
ye
shal
fly
when
no
man
chaseth
you
.
Thus
you
see
,
that
it
pleaseth
almightie
God
oftentimes
to
vse
these
and
such
like
words
of
threatning
,
to
vse
such
rigour
,
to
beat
a
terrour
into
his
people
,
when
faire
promises
and
swéet
words
can
doe
nothing
;
and
this
doth
hee
of
his
great
iustice
.
And
therfore
Dauid
in
this
place
;
God
is
indeed
,
(
saith
he
)
a
rightfull
iudge
,
and
God
is
euer
threatning
.
If
men
will
not
turne
,
he
hath
whet
his
sword
,
and
hath
bent
his
bowe
and
made
it
readie
:
He
hath
prepared
him
the
weapons
of
death
,
and
ordained
his
arrowes
to
destroy
.
So
mightie
,
so
omnipotent
is
God
,
that
hee
can
punish
,
and
so
righteous
a
iudge
is
he
,
that
hee
will
punish
when
it
best
pleaseth
him
.
But
some
man
would
here
peraduenture
say
,
if
God
be
thus
able
to
punish
,
and
will
indéed
punish
when
hee
is
offended
,
why
then
doth
he
it
not
by
and
by
,
why
is
not
he
reuenged
out
of
hand
?
because
(
saith
the
Prophet
)
he
is
mercifull
,
pacient
,
and
of
long
sufferance
.
Therefore
he
procéedeth
not
to
reuenge
his
anger
,
therfore
hee
hasteth
not
to
wreake
himselfe
on
vs
,
so
soone
as
wee
offend
him
,
and
transgresse
his
will
:
but
tarieth
,
and
maketh
long
delaies
to
sée
whether
wée
will
repent
and
returne
vnto
him
.
But
yet
(
saith
Dauid
,
forasmuch
as
hee
is
abused
,
for
as
much
as
yée
haue
left
and
forsaken
him
,
notwithstanding
he
be
mercifull
,
notwithstanding
he
be
pacient
cient
and
of
long
sufferance
,
Hee
hath
now
whet
his
sword
,
he
hath
bent
his
bowe
,
and
made
it
readie
,
hee
hath
prepared
him
the
weapons
of
death
,
and
ordeined
his
arrowes
to
destroy
:
and
this
will
he
doe
out
of
hand
,
he
will
make
no
longer
delay
at
all
.
Here
must
wee
not
fancie
,
that
God
will
strike
vs
with
a
sword
of
Iron
,
that
he
hath
a
bow
bent
and
arrowes
to
destroy
withall
:
for
euery
creature
on
the
earth
,
what
euer
it
be
,
be
it
neuer
so
vile
,
neuer
so
simple
,
neuer
so
weake
and
abiect
,
but
is
able
at
Gods
commandement
to
bee
an
instrument
to
plague
and
punish
withall
.
And
therefore
consider
what
is
so
weake
as
water
,
so
simple
as
flyes
,
so
vile
as
lice
and
frogs
:
and
yet
it
pleased
almightie
God
,
by
these
weake
,
by
these
simple
,
by
these
vile
things
,
to
punish
and
strike
the
Egyptians
,
yea
,
and
so
much
therby
to
plague
them
,
that
neuer
before
they
felt
the
like
,
neuer
earst
they
heard
of
the
like
punishment
.
It
pleased
God
to
turne
their
water
into
bloud
,
The
spirits
of
tempests
doe
his
will
,
the
thunder
and
lightnings
fulfill
his
commaundement
.
And
so
the
same
prophet
,
here
in
this
place
:
now
hath
God
begun
to
strike
,
Now
hath
he
whet
his
sword
,
&
bent
his
bow
,
saith
he
,
now
hath
he
prepared
his
arrowes
to
destroy
,
&
there
is
no
way
now
to
escape
his
vengeance
,
no
way
to
auoyd
his
punishment
,
but
only
this
,
to
turne
vnto
him
,
to
run
&
submit
your selues
wholy
to
him
.
These
words
Dauid
the
prophet
(
being
persecuted
of
his
enemies
,
and
beset
round
about
of
them
)
spake
vnto
Saul
the
proud
king
,
and
his
adherents
and
souldiers
:
putting
them
in
remembrance
how
they
had
prouoked
&
iustly
deserued
the
vegeance
of
God
,
for
persecuting
of
his
innocent
soule
.
And
euen
as
this
prophet
Dauid
spake
&
pronounced
these
words
vnto
Saul
,
&
his
wicked
companie
,
to
reduce
vnto
their
memorie
the
power
of
God
,
and
the
punishment
that
then
hanged
ouer
their
heads
:
So
may
we
likewise
well
vse
the
same
in
these
our
dayes
,
first
to
bring
vs
in
remembrance
that
God
is
a
righteous
Iudge
;
and
then
to
consider
how
we
dailie
prouoke
and
deserue
his
iust
wrath
,
and
so
at
the
least
for
feare
of
punishment
,
to
be
sorie
for
our
misdéeds
,
and
returne
vnto
him
:
For
if
we
will
not
be
conuerted
,
hée
hath
whet
his
sword
,
he
hath
bent
his
bow
,
prepared
hym
the
weapons
of
death
,
and
ordeyned
his
arrowes
to
destroy
.
But
before
we
come
vnto
God
,
(
good
Bretheren
)
before
we
returne
vnto
him
,
we
must
one
come
vnto
another
,
we
must
one
turne
to
another
;
before
we
be
reconciled
to
Christ
,
we
must
be
reconciled
vnto
our
neyghbor
,
before
we
be
at
one
with
God
,
we
must
be
at
one
with
our
Christian
Brother
.
This
is
the
order
that
God
looketh
wée
should
obserue
,
this
is
that
rule
which
Christ
commaunded
vs
to
kéepe
.
Remitte
,
&
remittetur
tibi
,
Forgiue
,
and
thou
shalt
be
forgiuen
.
Si
remiseris
alijs
peccata
sua
,
tua
remittentur
tibi
,
It
thou
shalt
forgiue
other
men
their
offences
towards
thee
,
then
shall
thy
sinnes
also
be
forgiuen
;
then
shall
God
pardon
thée
thine
offences
,
when
thou
shalt
pardon
thy
Brother
that
he
hath
offended
thée
,
then
,
I
say
,
shall
God
forgiue
thée
,
and
not
before
.
Nisi
remiseritis
alijs
peccata
sua
,
vestra
non
remittentur
vobis
,
Vnlesse
ye
forgiue
other
men
their
trespasses
,
your
owne
sinnes
shall
not
be
released
,
saith
Christ
.
Remember
(
good
Bretheren
)
remember
and
marke
well
these
words
,
Christ
is
the
author
,
Christ
is
the
speaker
,
Christ
is
the
commaunder
hereof
.
And
so
Christ
our
Sauior
in
an
other
place
of
his
Gospell
,
When
thou
offerest
thy
gift
at
the
Aultar
,
saith
he
,
and
there
remembrest
that
thy
Brother
hath
ought
against
thee
;
leaue
there
thine
offring
before
the
Aultar
,
&
go
thy
way
first
and
reconcile
thy selfe
to
thy
Brother
,
and
then
come
and
offer
thy
gift
.
God
is
contented
his
honor
be
deferred
,
he
is
contented
to
tarrie
for
his
Sacrifice
,
till
thou
art
agréed
with
thy
Brother
,
till
thou
art
at
one
with
him
.
And
when
thou
hast
thus
done
,
then
come
&
there
offer
thy
Sacrifice
.
This
is
the
ground
of
the
attonement
betwéen
God
and
vs
,
this
is
the
token
that
Christ
is
reconciled
vnto
vs
,
if
we
be
at
one
with
our
neyghbor
,
if
we
be
reconciled
to
our
Christian
Brother
.
Cum
clamabitis
ad
me
,
ego
non
exaudiam
vos
,
quia
manus
vestrae
plenae
sanguinis
sunt
,
When
you
shal
call
vpon
me
,
I
wil
not
heare
you
,
though
ye
make
many
praiers
,
yet
heare
I
nothing
at
all
,
saith
God
.
And
wherefore
?
Because
your
hands
are
full
of
blood
.
It
is
written
in
Genesis
,
Precatio
iniusti
abhominabilis
est
,
The
praier
of
the
wicked
is
abhominable
,
the
sinfull
mans
prayer
is
abhominable
in
the
sight
of
God
.
Let
their
prayers
be
as
a
sinne
,
let
their
prayer
be
turned
into
sinne
,
saith
he
.
O
miserable
man
thou
art
,
if
thou
be
not
in
charitie
,
wretched
and
too
sinfull
thou
art
,
if
thou
be
not
in
loue
and
vnitie
,
thy
Prayer
is
abhominable
,
yea
,
thy
prayer
is
no
prayer
,
thy
prayer
is
sinne
.
Thou
prayest
to
be
forgiuen
,
but
thou
thy selfe
wilt
not
forgiue
,
this
is
ynough
to
condemne
thée
.
For
our
Religion
is
none
other
but
a
Brotherhood
knit
together
in
the
loue
of
God
;
our
profession
is
none
other
than
charitie
and
brotherlie
loue
towards
all
men
in
our
Sauior
and
Redéemer
Iesus
Christ
.
Pacem
meam
do
vobis
,
pacem
meam
relinquo
vobis
,
I
giue
you
my
peace
,
my
peace
I
leaue
vnto
you
.
A
new
commandment
giue
I
you
,
that
you
loue
together
,
as
I
haue
loued
you
.
What
a
zealous
fire
,
what
an
earnest
loue
had
Christ
when
he
praied
and
said
,
O
Father
,
cause
that
these
be
one
,
as
thou
and
I
are
one
,
that
like
as
thou
Father
art
in
me
,
and
I
in
thee
,
that
they
also
may
be
one
in
vs
.
Because
ye
be
few
,
said
Christ
to
his
Disciples
,
and
in
the
middest
of
your
enemies
,
liue
you
in
concord
and
peace
one
with
an
other
,
one
beare
with
another
,
and
all
you
hold
together
.
S.
Paul
saith
,
That
he
which
loueth
his
Brother
,
hath
fulfilled
the
whole
law
.
Let
not
the
Sunne
goe
downe
on
thy
wrath
,
Reuenge
not
,
but
giue
place
vnto
displeasure
;
wreke
not
your selues
,
but
giue
roome
to
the
wrath
of
God
.
Dauid
,
when
he
was
in
most
extreame
persecution
,
&
his
enemies
laid
daily
wait
for
his
life
,
séeking
his
destruction
,
euen
then
fell
he
to
most
earnest
praier
,
he
sought
not
to
be
reuenged
,
but
he
made
his
prayer
vnto
God
,
and
said
,
Fratres
se
appellabant
&
more
voluerunt
pro
muicem
,
They
called
them selues
Bretheren
,
saith
he
,
and
one
would
not
sticke
to
dye
for
an
other
.
O
what
a
charitie
,
what
a
loue
,
what
a
Brotherly
affection
was
this
among
Christians
,
in
the
beginning
of
Gods
Church
.
Saint
Steuen
,
when
he
was
stoned
,
all
his
bones
crusht
and
burst
in
péeces
,
and
his
Soule
readie
to
leaue
his
bodie
,
euen
then
he
prayed
for
his
Tormentors
,
euen
then
he
cried
out
vnto
God
,
and
said
,
O
Domine
,
ne
statuas
illis
peccatum
hoc
,
Lord
,
lay
not
this
sinne
to
their
charge
.
So
that
holie
father
Nazianzen
,
when
the
hangman
that
most
cruelly
had
tormented
him
,
desired
pardon
of
him
,
he
méekely
answered
,
Qui
mihi
ignouit
,
ignoscat
tibi
He
that
hath
forgiuen
me
,
the
same
forgiue
thee
;
God
hath
pardoned
mée
,
and
I
béesech
him
that
he
will
in
like
pardon
thée
.
Euen
so
likewise
Christ
,
when
he
hanged
on
the
Crosse
,
when
his
hands
and
féete
were
nailed
to
the
trée
and
he
in
the
middest
of
all
his
woe
,
euen
then
he
prayed
for
his
persecutors
,
then
he
desired
his
Father
to
pardon
them
,
and
said
,
This
is
an
example
for
vs
to
follow
,
thus
ought
wée
to
do
,
as
in
the
beginning
of
Christs
Church
,
the
Christians
did
,
who
called
themseues
Bretheren
,
and
one
would
dye
for
an
other
:
Thus
ought
we
to
say
,
as
S.
Steuen
said
,
Lord
,
lay
not
this
sinne
to
their
charge
:
thus
should
we
do
,
as
that
holie
father
Nazianzene
did
,
and
say
,
He
that
hath
forgiuen
me
,
the
same
forgiue
thée
.
And
lastly
so
ought
we
to
pray
for
our
enemies
,
as
Christ
did
for
his
persecutors
,
and
say
,
Father
forgiue
it
them
,
they
wote
not
what
they
doe
.
Thus
ought
we
to
do
,
if
we
mind
to
liue
according
to
our
profession
,
and
if
we
will
be
Christians
,
as
we
are
called
Christians
.
We
read
,
written
by
S.
Luke
in
the
Acts
of
the
Apostles
,
that
in
the
beginning
&
first
spring
of
Gods
Church
,
the
whole
congregation
had
one
thought
,
O
quàm
bonum
,
&
quàm
iocundum
,
habitare
fraires
in
vnum
,
Behold
how
good
&
ioyfull
a
thing
it
is
Bretheren
to
dwell
together
in
vnitie
:
He
estéemed
loue
to
be
so
great
a
iewel
,
he
thought
concord
and
vnitie
a
thing
of
so
great
price
,
that
he
could
not
speake
too
much
good
of
it
.
And
therfore
he
sayd
,
It
was
like
the
oyntment
that
ran
vnto
Aarons
beard
,
and
like
the
dew
of
Hermon
which
fell
vpon
the
hill
of
Sion
,
where
the
Lord
promised
his
blessing
,
and
life
for
euermore
.
But
O
mercifull
God
,
vnto
what
times
hast
thou
reserued
vs
?
where
is
now
the
peace
giuen
,
the
loue
left
by
our
Sauior
Iesus
Christ
?
where
is
that
charitie
that
should
alwayes
remaine
among
Christians
?
Now
is
the
time
,
euen
now
,
(
good
Bretheren
)
are
the
dayes
come
,
which
Christ
himselfe
prophesied
should
come
,
The
time
shall
be
that
iniquitie
shall
haue
the
vpperchand
,
and
the
loue
of
many
shall
abate
.
Christ
said
,
that
such
a
time
should
come
,
and
euen
now
,
euen
now
,
that
time
and
season
is
come
vpon
vs
.
So
likewise
Saint
Paul
the
Apostle
of
Christ
said
,
In
the
last
dayes
there
shall
come
perilous
times
,
Erunt
homines
seipsos
amantes
,
There
shall
bem
en
which
shal
loue
them selues
,
couetous
,
boasters
,
proud
,
cursed
speakers
,
and
such
as
shall
be
despisers
of
them
that
are
good
.
O
see
the
prophet
saith
,
Non
est
veritas
in
terra
,
There
is
no
trueth
,
no
faithfulnesse
in
the
whole
world
,
there
is
no
mercie
,
no
knowledge
of
God
in
the
land
;
but
swearing
,
lying
,
manslaughter
,
theft
,
and
adulterie
.
Ieremie
also
the
prophet
of
God
,
Frater
venabitur
fratrem
ad
mortem
,
One
Brother
shall
hunt
and
persecute
an
other
vnto
death
:
no
man
may
safely
trust
his
owne
Brother
,
for
one
Brother
vndermyneth
an
other
,
and
one
neyghbour
beguyleth
an
other
.
And
all
this
do
we
now
sée
,
wée
,
I
say
,
in
these
our
dayes
do
sée
and
behold
all
this
.
We
sée
now
that
which
Nazianzen
that
old
holie
father
speaketh
of
,
Membra
Christi
pugnant
inter
se
,
The
members
of
Christ
are
at
strife
and
variance
among
them selues
,
saith
he
,
and
euen
those
members
that
Christ
died
for
,
those
members
I
say
that
Christs
blood
redéemed
,
those
members
we
now
sée
at
debate
and
fighting
together
.
I
speake
but
in
generalitie
,
I
speake
not
now
in
particularitie
,
I
do
not
here
repeat
to
your
memories
our
particular
offences
,
and
great
crimes
,
which
to
consider
would
cause
any
honest
hart
to
be
sorie
,
yea
,
which
to
remember
would
enforce
the
stonie
hart
to
bléed
.
I
do
not
now
rehearse
vnto
you
by
name
any
such
our
offences
.
O
rip
vp
your
consciences
,
descend
into
your
owne
harts
,
sée
whether
iniquitie
doth
not
abound
,
sée
whether
there
be
not
in
these
our
dayes
,
men
,
such
as
are
louers
of
them selues
:
sée
whether
there
be
any
trueth
,
any
fidelitie
vpon
the
earth
:
sée
whether
one
brother
doth
not
hunt
and
persecute
an
other
vnto
death
:
and
lastly
sée
whether
the
verie
members
of
Christ
are
not
now
at
debate
and
fighting
together
.
Dauid
,
when
he
considered
the
great
oppression
,
tyrannie
,
and
persecution
vsed
against
the
faithfull
,
in
his
time
,
cryed
out
and
said
,
Serua
me
Deus
,
quia
defecit
sanctus
,
O
saue
me
Lord
,
for
there
is
not
one
Saint
more
,
verie
few
faithfull
are
there
among
the
children
of
men
:
Euery
man
telleth
lyes
to
his
neighbor
,
they
do
but
slatter
with
their
lips
,
and
dissemble
in
their
hart
.
Ieremie
the
prophet
,
when
he
saw
the
whole
multitude
of
the
people
in
his
dayes
forsake
God
,
and
run
after
their
owne
affections
,
euery
man
whether
his
lust
lead
him
,
he
cried
out
and
said
,
Quis
capiti
meo
dabit
aquam
,
&
occulis
meis
fontem
aquarum
,
O
who
will
giue
my
head
water
ynough
,
and
a
well
of
teares
for
mine
eyes
,
that
I
may
bewaile
the
iniquitie
of
this
people
.
And
euen
like
as
Dauid
in
his
time
,
so
may
the
iust
man
say
now
,
Serua
me
Deus
,
quoniam
defecit
sanctus
,
O
Lord
helpe
,
because
there
is
no
holie
man
left
.
Like
as
Ieremie
,
so
may
the
vertuous
bewaile
now
the
wickednesse
of
these
our
dayes
,
and
say
,
O
who
shall
poure
water
into
my
head
,
and
giue
a
fountaine
of
teares
vnto
myne
eyes
,
that
I
may
bewaile
the
wickednesse
of
this
people
.
O
Christ
,
where
is
now
thy
new
commaundement
?
where
is
now
thy
cognisance
,
thy
badge
whereby
thy
seruants
are
knowen
?
where
is
that
peace
which
thou
leaftest
to
thy
Disciples
?
where
is
now
that
one
hart
,
that
one
mind
,
that
one
thought
,
that
was
in
the
congregation
in
the
beginning
of
thy
Church
?
But
what
néed
I
to
speake
,
what
néed
I
to
say
any
thing
,
if
they
would
heare
thée
,
Lord
,
if
they
would
heare
thy
word
and
Gospell
?
O
Lord
where
is
thy
strength
become
?
where
is
that
power
,
that
force
of
thy
word
,
which
was
able
to
diuide
the
marrow
from
the
bone
?
Peccantes
post
acceptam
gratiam
,
destituti
sunt
omni
misericordia
,
They
which
wilfully
sinne
after
they
haue
once
receiued
the
knowledge
of
the
truth
,
are
destitute
of
all
mercie
:
there
remaineth
vnto
them
no
more
sacrifice
for
their
sins
,
but
a
fearefull
looking
of
iudgement
,
and
violent
fire
,
which
shall
consume
the
aduersaries
.
And
this
is
it
that
the
Apostle
saith
,
to
bee
cast
into
a
reprobate
sence
.
This
is
the
sin
that
S.
Iohn
maketh
mencion
of
,
saying
;
Est
peccatum
in
spiritum
sanctum
,
there
is
a
sin
against
the
holy
Ghost
,
which
shall
neuer
be
forgiuen
in
this
world
,
nor
in
the
world
to
come
.
And
for
this
great
sin
,
for
this
horrible
wickednesse
,
good
people
,
God
hath
drawne
out
his
sword
,
for
this
cause
hath
he
bent
his
bow
,
and
prepared
his
arrowes
to
destroy
.
Therefore
(
good
brethren
)
let
vs
lay
aside
al
contention
,
al
strife
,
and
debate
,
and
let
vs
looke
vp
vnto
heauen
,
let
vs
cast
our
eies
thither
,
where
is
no
rancor
,
no
discord
,
no
strife
,
no
debate
:
let
vs
fix
our
eyes
,
our
hearts
,
and
our
whole
mindes
on
Iesus
Christ
,
on
him
I
say
,
who
hanging
on
the
crosse
,
praid
for
his
persecutors
,
and
said
;
O
father
forgiue
them
,
they
wote
not
what
they
doe
.
Let
vs
imagine
that
wee
now
behold
him
,
and
that
he
now
spreadeth
out
his
arms
vnto
vs
,
and
saith
,
O
thou
sinfull
man
that
slumbrest
in
thy
sins
,
and
sléepest
in
thine
own
wickednesse
,
awake
,
now
is
it
time
for
thee
to
awake
out
of
thy
slumber
,
to
arise
from
thy
heauie
sléepe
:
remember
thou
art
a
Christian
man
,
consider
thou
are
a
lymbe
of
my
lymbs
,
a
member
of
my
bodie
,
the
child
of
God
,
and
coheire
of
my
fathers
kingdome
.
You
children
of
men
,
how
long
will
yée
dwell
in
your
old
wickednesse
?
How
long
will
yée
liue
in
hatered
one
with
another
?
How
long
will
ye
continue
in
rancour
and
strife
?
Shall
I
so
forgiue
you
as
you
forgiue
your
neighbours
?
shall
I
so
pardon
you
your
sins
,
as
you
pardon
your
brethren
their
offences
?
O
I
forgaue
thée
thy
great
debt
,
and
wilt
not
thou
forgiue
thy
brother
that
little
,
wherein
he
hath
offended
thee
?
I
haue
paid
his
debt
,
I
haue
paid
the
ransome
for
his
trespasse
,
if
my
bloud
be
a
sufficient
ransome
for
the
same
:
for
that
blouds
sake
of
myne
forgiue
him
,
if
nought
els
will
moue
thée
,
if
thou
wilt
not
for
his
owne
sake
,
yet
for
my
sake
pardon
him
.
Good
brethren
,
wee
haue
long
enough
serued
the
deuil
,
the
prince
of
this
world
,
let
vs
now
serue
God
our
maker
,
and
Christ
our
redéemer
.
We
haue
long
ynough
,
yea
too
long
,
continewed
in
rancour
and
malice
one
with
another
:
let
vs
now
therfore
,
if
there
be
any
societie
betwéene
God
and
vs
,
if
there
be
in
vs
any
loue
of
Christ
,
if
there
bee
any
feare
of
Gods
wreake
and
vengeance
,
let
vs
one
forgiue
another
;
let
euery
man
forgiue
his
Christian
brother
,
let
vs
all
cast
aside
al
rancour
,
strife
,
and
debate
,
and
so
let
vs
dwell
together
in
vnitie
,
in
brotherly
loue
,
and
concord
.
This
day
we
haue
heard
Gods
Gospel
preached
vnto
vs
,
this
day
wee
haue
learned
out
of
the
word
of
God
,
that
if
wée
be
Christians
,
we
should
liue
like
Christians
,
if
we
be
the
children
of
God
we
should
liue
as
becommeth
the
children
of
God
,
without
enuie
,
without
hatred
,
without
strife
or
malice
.
Let
vs
therfore
now
leaue
off
our
old
contention
&
strife
,
let
vs
euen
here
in
this
place
one
forgiue
another
,
and
so
be
reconciled
one
vnto
another
,
and
saie
;
Remitte
nobis
debita
nostra
,
sicut
&
nos
dimittimus
debit
oribus
nostris
,
O
Lord
forgiue
vs
our
sins
,
as
we
forgiue
them
that
trespasse
against
vs
.
This
is
our
profession
,
this
is
our
Religion
,
hereunto
are
we
called
of
God
,
appointed
by
Christ
,
and
commanded
by
his
holy
word
.
Let
vs
consider
our
white
&
hore
hairs
,
let
vs
behold
our
riueled
skinne
,
let
vs
haue
alwaies
before
our
eyes
the
graue
whereunto
we
are
créeping
:
Let
vs
consider
that
death
daily
hangeth
ouer
our
heads
.
And
shall
wee
then
in
this
sort
liue
out
the
rest
of
our
years
?
Shall
wee
thus
die
,
and
come
to
our
graues
?
Let
vs
shew
our selues
in
our
workes
to
be
the
children
of
God
,
and
the
brethren
of
Christ
:
let
vs
not
shew
our selues
Christians
in
name
and
not
in
déed
:
let
vs
not
loue
in
word
alone
,
but
in
déed
and
veritie
:
let
vs
not
requite
euill
with
euill
,
one
mischiefe
with
another
;
but
let
vs
(
according
vnto
S.
Pauls
Rule
)
Ouercome
euill
with
good
,
hatred
with
loue
,
and
so
fulfill
the
Law
of
God
.
So
shall
God
hold
backe
his
sword
,
though
alreadie
drawne
,
so
shall
he
not
smite
vs
though
he
hath
bent
his
bow
,
prepared
him
the
weapons
of
death
,
and
ordained
his
arrowes
to
destroy
.
But
God
shall
continue
our
God
,
and
remain
with
vs
for
euer
.
Amen

And
he
turned
him
to
his
Disciples
,
and
said
:
Blessed
are
the
eyes
which
see
that
ye
see
.
24.
For
I
saie
vnto
you
,
many
Prophets
&
kings
would
haue
seen
the
things
that
ye
see
,
and
haue
not
seene
them
,
and
haue
heard
the
things
that
yee
heare
,
and
haue
not
heard
them
.
OUR
Sauiour
Christ
,
before
he
began
to
declare
and
set
forth
the
will
of
his
Father
,
before
hee
began
to
preach
abroad
the
high
mysteries
of
our
redemption
,
the
glad
tidings
of
mans
saluation
,
sent
abroad
into
the
world
a
many
of
Disciples
to
the
number
of
thrée
score
and
ten
,
to
the
end
that
they
should
espie
out
and
sée
the
stay
of
the
people
,
how
they
would
accept
his
Doctrine
,
and
first
to
giue
them
this
warning
,
and
say
;
Paenitentiam
agite
,
appropinquat
enim
regnum
caelorum
,
Repent
your selues
,
for
the
Kingdome
of
Heauen
is
at
hand
.
These
Disciples
of
Christ
,
after
they
had
in
all
points
accomplished
their
masters
commission
,
and
fulfilled
his
commandement
,
returned
againe
vnto
Christ
,
and
shewed
him
the
maruailes
that
they
had
wrought
in
his
name
,
reioycing
much
therat
,
and
especially
for
that
Deuils
departed
from
men
possessed
,
and
were
driuen
out
by
them
;
The
verie
Deuils
(
said
they
)
are
subdued
vnto
vs
in
thy
name
.
But
when
Christ
heard
them
thus
say
,
and
perceiued
that
they
reioyced
there
at
,
he
turned
to
his
Disciples
,
hee
pulled
them
from
this
vaine
fancie
,
and
said
;
I
saw
Sathan
fall
downe
from
heauen
as
lightning
.
Behold
I
haue
giuen
you
power
to
tread
vpon
Serpents
,
to
go
ouer
Scorpions
,
ouer
all
venemous
and
noysome
beasts
;
they
shal
be
subiect
,
&
obedient
vnto
you
,
&
they
shal
not
hurt
you
.
But
reioyce
not
in
this
,
reioyce
not
that
you
shall
haue
power
ouer
Serpents
,
that
you
shall
be
able
to
tread
vpon
Scorpions
and
all
other
venemous
beasts
,
&
be
nothing
therwith
annoyed
,
but
reioyce
you
in
this
,
that
your
names
are
written
in
the
booke
of
life
.
Put
away
(
said
Christ
)
this
vaine-glory
that
your
haue
conceiued
,
this
fond
fancie
wherein
ye
reioyce
,
and
reioyce
yée
only
in
this
,
that
your
names
are
written
in
heauen
:
and
that
you
know
God
,
and
his
son
whom
he
hath
sent
into
the
world
.
For
no
man
knoweth
the
Son
,
but
the
Father
,
neither
knoweth
any
man
the
Father
,
saue
the
Son
,
&
he
to
whom
the
Son
will
open
it
.
This
is
your
felicitie
,
this
is
your
ioy
,
&
no
man
but
you
,
hath
this
great
ioy
&
felicitie
.
And
therfore
blessed
are
the
eyes
which
sée
,
that
ye
sée
.
This
heauenly
felicity
,
this
marueilous
blisse
,
that
Christ
in
this
place
spake
of
to
his
Disciples
,
was
prophesied
and
long
time
before
spoken
of
,
euen
at
the
first
beginning
of
the
world
:
for
at
what
time
Adam
had
transgressed
Gods
commaundement
,
and
so
fallen
from
the
ioyes
of
Paradise
;
God
himselfe
,
to
put
Adam
in
some
comfort
againe
,
prouounced
these
words
against
the
wicked
Serpent
that
had
wrought
him
that
woe
,
Ipsum
conteret
caput
tuum
,
The
seed
of
the
woman
shall
tread
downe
thy
head
:
he
,
he
it
is
that
shal
breake
downe
and
destroy
the
power
of
the
deuill
,
said
God
vnto
Adam
.
This
promise
(
I
say
)
euen
at
the
beginning
of
the
world
was
made
by
God
vnto
Adam
,
and
so
continued
to
the
time
of
Christ
:
for
afterward
this
same
promise
declared
God
likewise
,
to
many
a
good
and
godly
man
.
Hee
said
vnto
Abraham
,
In
s●mine
tuo
benedicentur
omnes
fiues
terrae
,
In
thy
seed
(
said
God
)
in
that
seed
of
thine
shall
all
the
Nations
of
the
earth
be
blessed
.
To
Dauid
also
God
declared
likewise
this
promise
,
and
said
;
De
semine
tuo
ponam
super
solium
tuum
,
Of
the
truit
of
thy
body
shal
I
set
vpon
thy
seat
.
And
so
in
the
time
of
Esay
his
prophet
,
god
continued
this
promise
,
and
said
;
Ecce
virgo
concipiet
,
&
pariet
filium
cuius
nomen
erit
Emanuel
,
behold
,
a
virgine
shall
conceiue
and
bring
forth
a
sonne
,
whose
name
shall
bee
Emanuel
,
that
is
,
God
amongst
vs
.
And
hereunto
witnessed
all
the
Patriarches
and
Prophets
,
euen
from
the
first
beginning
of
the
world
,
vnto
the
time
of
the
comming
of
our
Sauior
Iesus
Christ
.
And
therfore
,
because
the
whole
Scriptures
,
the
Patriarches
,
the
Prophets
,
spake
thus
plainely
of
Christ
,
and
declared
his
comming
.
Christ
said
,
Scrutamini
Scripturas
,
illae
enim
testimonium
perhibent
de
me
,
search
you
the
Scriptures
,
for
they
do
beare
witnesse
of
me
.
Likewise
againe
to
the
Scribes
and
Pharisies
,
hee
said
,
Si
Mosei
crederetis
crederetis
&
mihi
,
If
ye
beleeued
Moses
,
ye
would
beleeue
mee
,
for
Moses
also
hath
written
to
mee
;
hee
hath
told
you
of
me
,
said
Christ
,
&
therefore
if
you
beléeued
him
,
yée
would
also
beléeue
me
.
And
thus
all
the
whole
bodie
of
the
Scriptures
bare
record
of
the
comming
of
Christ
:
the
Patriarches
knew
long
before
that
Christ
should
be
borne
:
the
Prophets
prophesied
of
his
comming
into
the
world
.
But
when
Christ
should
be
borne
,
when
his
glorious
comming
should
appeare
,
that
neither
the
scriptures
declared
,
neither
the
holy
Patriarches
knew
,
nor
the
Prophets
were
able
to
shew
.
And
therfore
said
Christ
,
Abraham
voluit
videre
diem
meum
,
Abraham
would
faine
haue
seene
my
day
,
&
he
saw
it
,
&
therefore
he
reioiced
.
But
how
did
Abraham
sée
it
?
with
bodily
eyes
?
no
,
but
in
faith
,
&
because
he
was
in
faith
able
to
sée
it
,
therefore
he
reioyced
.
What
then
if
he
had
with
his
eyes
séene
Christ
,
if
he
had
talked
with
him
,
if
he
might
haue
touched
and
embraced
Christ
:
what
ioy
would
hée
haue
made
?
how
would
he
haue
reioyced
and
béene
glad
?
No
doubt
,
as
the
birth
of
Christ
was
most
acceptable
and
welcome
to
al
good
men
in
that
time
,
so
was
his
comming
much
longed
for
of
the
holy
Patriarches
and
Prophets
before
time
:
for
they
well
knew
that
his
time
should
be
a
time
most
acceptable
,
that
then
all
things
should
be
in
quietnesse
,
vnitie
and
concord
in
euery
place
,
peace
through
the
whole
world
.
And
therefore
said
Esay
the
Prophet
,
Et
vocabitur
princeps
pacis
,
He
shal
be
called
the
Prince
of
peace
.
And
to
declare
this
more
plainly
,
the
same
Prophet
saith
,
Then
shall
the
Wolfe
dwell
with
the
Lambe
,
the
Leopard
shall
lye
downe
by
the
Goat
,
Bullocks
,
Lyons
,
and
cattell
shall
keepe
company
together
,
the
Cow
and
the
Beare
shall
lye
together
:
and
there
shall
be
no
crying
,
no
wayling
,
no
noyse
heard
in
the
streets
.
And
therefore
this
Prophet
Esay
in
another
place
,
considering
the
great
ioy
,
the
great
felicitie
that
Christ
should
bring
into
the
world
,
when
hée
should
be
borne
,
cryed
out
and
said
,
Disrumpe
coelos
,
&
descende
,
O
Lord
said
he
,
breake
the
heauens
and
come
downe
.
And
so
another
Prophet
in
like
foreséeing
this
great
felicitie
that
should
ensue
the
birth
of
Christ
,
said
,
Quis
viuet
,
&
videbit
haec
?
O
who
shall
liue
to
enioy
this
merueilous
felicitie
?
When
Christ
was
come
into
this
world
,
though
then
not
borne
,
but
in
his
mothers
wombe
,
Iohn
the
Baptist
béeing
a
babe
,
and
in
his
mothers
belly
also
,
yet
at
the
Maiestie
of
his
Lord
,
Gloria
in
excelsis
Deo
,
&
in
terra
pax
hominibus
,
Glorie
be
to
God
on
high
,
and
in
earth
peace
vnto
men
.
After
that
time
when
Simeon
that
holy
prophet
had
in
spirit
perceiued
the
true
Messias
,
&
Sauior
of
the
world
to
be
born
,
&
had
receiued
Christ
into
his
armes
,
Nunc
dimittis
seruum
tuum
Domine
,
secundum
verbum
tuum
in
pace
,
Now
lettest
thou
thy
seruant
depart
in
peace
,
according
to
thy
word
:
Now
,
euen
now
that
this
sight
is
prouided
before
the
face
of
the
whole
world
,
that
so
long
hath
béene
looked
for
,
now
that
light
is
appeared
which
shall
be
the
light
of
the
Gentiles
:
Now
,
O
Lord
,
said
be
,
let
thy
seruant
depart
in
peace
,
I
haue
lyued
long
ynough
to
sée
thy
saluation
.
Thus
,
good
brethren
,
all
the
Scriptures
throughout
,
the
Patriarches
,
the
Prophets
,
shewed
long
before
vnto
vs
,
the
ioy
and
felicity
that
should
come
vpon
the
whole
world
,
at
such
time
as
Christ
should
be
borne
.
And
therefore
to
confirme
all
this
that
they
before
had
prophesied
of
him
,
Christ
here
said
vnto
his
disciples
,
Blessed
are
the
eyes
which
see
that
ye
see
.
Blessed
are
your
eies
,
said
Christ
,
for
your
eyes
haue
séene
Gods
promises
performed
:
that
promise
which
he
made
to
Adam
,
saying
,
The
seed
of
the
woman
shall
breake
the
head
of
the
Serpent
:
Your
eies
haue
séene
that
promise
made
vnto
Abraham
,
The
seed
wherein
all
nations
shall
bee
blessed
:
That
promise
also
your
eyes
haue
séene
performed
,
which
God
made
vnto
Dauid
,
saying
:
Of
the
fruit
of
thy
bodie
wil
I
set
vpon
thy
seat
:
You
haue
séene
,
and
do
now
sée
that
Emanuel
,
of
whom
Esay
prophesied
:
You
,
I
say
,
haue
séene
that
thing
,
whereunto
all
the
Patriarches
,
al
the
Prophets
,
&
the
whole
body
of
the
Scriptures
do
beare
witnesse
:
You
do
see
and
behold
him
,
whom
Abraham
would
gladly
haue
séene
:
You
sée
him
,
whom
Esay
calleth
the
Prince
of
peace
:
him
,
in
regard
of
whom
the
Prophet
cried
out
,
and
said
,
O
who
shall
liue
to
see
this
great
ioy
?
You
sée
him
,
at
whose
presence
Saint
Iohn
the
Baptist
being
in
his
mothers
wombe
,
sprang
,
&
leapt
vp
for
ioy
:
him
,
at
whose
birth
the
verie
Angels
in
heauen
sang
,
Gloria
in
excelsis
:
him
,
whom
Simeon
pronounced
to
bee
the
Sauiour
of
the
world
.
All
this
,
said
Christ
,
you
sée
,
you
my
disciples
,
your
eyes
do
sée
all
this
,
and
therefore
blessed
are
your
eyes
,
happy
and
blessed
are
the
eyes
that
sée
whiche
yée
sée
.
In
the
beginning
,
Paul
,
God
spake
diuersly
,
and
by
sundry
meanes
vnto
his
people
,
sometimes
by
dreames
,
sometimes
by
reuelation
,
sometimes
by
prophesies
,
sometimes
by
Angels
,
and
sometimes
by
his
owne
voice
:
but
now
in
these
dayes
hee
hath
sent
amongst
vs
his
owne
sonne
:
by
him
,
saith
he
,
God
hath
declared
his
wil
vnto
vs
cléerely
and
plainly
,
euen
by
the
mouth
of
his
owne
son
.
When
S.
Iohn
the
Baptist
baptized
Christ
in
the
riuer
of
Iordan
,
it
pleased
God
the
Father
to
crye
from
heauen
,
and
say
,
Hic
est
meus
filius
dilectus
,
ipsum
audit
,
This
is
my
beloued
sonne
,
heare
him
,
hearken
vnto
his
voice
,
giue
eare
vnto
his
doctrine
:
for
he
it
is
to
whom
both
the
law
&
the
Prophets
haue
their
respect
.
And
S.
Paul
saith
,
that
hath
beene
so
many
hundred
yeres
hid
,
is
now
reuealed
by
Christ
our
Sauiour
:
so
long
it
hath
béene
hidden
,
saith
Saint
Paul
,
and
now
it
is
opened
and
shewed
vnto
the
whole
world
by
Christ
.
Therefore
blessed
are
your
eyes
,
said
Christ
,
yea
,
blessed
are
the
eyes
which
sée
that
yée
sée
,
for
your
bodily
eyes
see
that
which
the
Angels
did
lacke
,
you
sée
that
which
the
Patriarches
and
the
Prophets
neuer
saw
:
you
,
said
Christ
,
you
my
Disciples
are
blessed
that
sée
me
,
that
heare
my
gospel
and
beléeue
the
same
,
and
therefore
blessed
are
your
eyes
,
and
the
eyes
which
sée
that
you
sée
.
For
otherwise
the
Scribes
saw
Christ
as
the
Apostles
did
,
the
Pharisies
saw
him
as
the
Aposles
did
,
and
yet
were
they
alwaies
Scribes
and
Pharisies
,
that
is
,
such
as
withstood
Christ
,
and
gainsaid
his
doctrine
:
Caiphas
saw
Christ
as
the
Apostles
did
,
and
yet
hée
rent
his
clothes
,
and
sayd
,
that
Christ
was
a
blasphemer
.
Tu
es
filius
Dei
,
Thou
art
the
sonne
of
God
:
thus
they
saw
Christ
as
touching
the
bodie
,
but
they
saw
him
not
as
the
Apostles
saw
him
:
they
saw
him
as
a
man
,
but
not
as
the
sonne
of
God
:
they
saw
him
as
the
sonne
of
a
Carpenter
,
to
be
the
verie
sonne
of
God
:
they
saw
Christ
as
a
miserable
man
,
but
the
Apostles
saw
him
as
the
Sauiour
of
the
world
.
And
therefore
Peter
was
bold
to
say
,
Tu
es
Christus
,
filius
Dei
viui
,
Thou
art
Christ
,
the
sonne
of
the
liuing
God
.
And
againe
he
was
in
like
able
to
say
,
Tu
habes
verbum
salutis
,
Thou
hast
the
words
of
life
.
Thus
the
Apostles
saw
Christ
,
and
beléeued
him
to
be
the
redéemer
of
the
world
,
&
therefore
Christ
said
vnto
them
,
Blessed
are
your
eyes
,
and
the
eies
which
see
that
you
see
.
For
I
say
vnto
you
,
many
Kings
and
Prophets
would
faine
haue
seene
the
things
that
you
see
,
and
could
not
see
them
.
This
promise
,
good
brethren
,
of
the
birth
of
Christ
,
and
his
comming
into
the
world
,
to
redéeme
mankind
,
was
made
long
before
,
yea
,
it
was
promised
by
God
the
Father
,
euen
in
the
first
beginning
of
the
world
,
as
I
haue
already
declared
vnto
you
.
And
therfore
in
hope
of
the
performance
of
this
promise
,
many
a
godly
man
did
put
his
affiance
in
Christ
,
and
long
before
his
comming
had
a
fixed
trust
in
the
merits
of
his
passion
.
The
Patriarches
,
the
Prophets
,
and
all
such
as
liued
vnder
the
old
law
,
had
the
same
Law
and
Testament
that
wée
now
haue
,
they
had
the
same
doctrine
,
the
same
faith
,
the
same
prayer
,
the
same
Sacraments
that
wee
now
haue
:
wée
drinke
of
Christ
,
and
so
the
Iewes
dranke
of
Christ
:
Bibebant
de
petra
,
petra
autem
erat
Christus
,
They
drank
of
the
rocke
,
saith
Saint
Paul
,
and
the
rocke
they
dranke
of
was
Christ
.
They
were
circumcised
,
and
so
are
we
:
for
,
saith
Saint
Paul
,
We
also
are
circumcised
,
but
with
circumcision
without
hands
:
We
are
circumcised
,
but
we
are
circumcised
in
heart
by
the
power
of
the
holy
ghost
.
The
Patriarches
and
the
Prophets
knew
well
,
and
beléeued
,
that
by
Christ
they
should
be
redéemed
,
that
by
his
only
blood
,
shed
on
the
crosse
all
the
world
should
bee
saued
:
but
this
they
knew
,
this
they
saw
,
only
by
faith
,
&
in
spirit
,
for
then
was
not
Christ
borne
:
we
haue
the
lamb
of
God
offered
vp
for
vs
,
&
so
had
they
the
same
lambe
offered
vp
for
them
.
For
S.
Iohn
saith
,
Agnus
oblatus
a
principio
mundi
,
Christ
was
the
lambe
offered
vp
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
.
Abraham
,
Isaac
,
Iacob
,
Ioseph
,
and
diuers
other
such
good
men
,
lackt
any
part
of
their
felicitie
?
Or
if
they
were
blessed
,
why
said
Christ
onely
to
his
Apostles
,
Blessed
are
the
eyes
which
see
that
yee
see
?
When
our
Sauiour
Christ
said
thus
,
blessed
are
your
eyes
,
and
the
eyes
which
sée
that
yée
sée
,
he
meant
not
and
peculiar
blessing
giuen
vnto
them
alone
,
but
he
signified
the
blessing
of
that
time
:
as
if
he
should
haue
said
,
blessed
is
this
time
,
blessed
are
the
dayes
that
you
sée
.
For
there
is
in
times
and
seasons
a
great
difference
and
diuersitie
.
Some
one
time
is
blessed
,
another
is
accursed
.
The
time
of
the
wicked
king
Manasses
,
O
Ierusalem
,
Ierusalem
,
thou
that
killest
my
Prophets
,
and
stonest
them
that
are
sent
vnto
thee
,
O
that
thou
knewest
the
time
of
thy
visitation
:
O
that
thine
eyes
would
once
sée
,
thine
eares
heare
,
and
so
thou
wouldst
know
when
God
hath
sent
his
sonne
vnto
thee
.
Nox
praecessit
,
dies
autem
illuxit
,
The
night
is
past
,
and
the
day
now
beginneth
to
shine
:
and
therefore
in
conclusion
,
he
saith
,
Ecce
nunc
tempus
acceptabile
,
Behold
now
is
the
acceptable
time
,
behold
now
is
the
time
of
saluation
.
These
were
blessed
times
,
these
were
acceptable
times
,
that
Christ
our
Sauiour
and
S.
Paul
spake
of
,
Dum
habetis
lucem
,
ambulate
in
luce
,
Whiles
you
haue
light
,
walke
in
the
light
saith
Christ
,
receiue
the
light
,
and
so
shal
you
be
the
children
of
light
.
And
so
that
time
was
a
blessed
time
:
because
Christ
was
borne
in
that
time
,
because
the
force
and
power
of
the
diuell
was
by
Christ
then
destroyed
,
because
the
dominion
&
kingdome
of
sathan
was
then
throwne
downe
,
therefore
was
it
a
blessed
time
.
But
as
touching
the
blessing
of
the
men
in
times
long
before
,
men
were
as
blessed
as
they
were
then
:
Abraham
,
Isaac
,
Iacob
,
Ioseph
,
and
such
other
,
were
as
blessed
as
the
Apostles
.
They
had
the
same
Christ
,
the
same
Sauiour
and
redéemer
that
the
Apostles
had
.
For
saith
S.
Paul
,
Iesus
Christus
,
heri
,
hodie
,
&
semper
,
Christ
,
is
for
yesterday
,
this
day
,
and
for
euer
.
One
Christ
serued
for
all
the
world
.
Otherwise
most
miserable
were
we
,
&
in
most
wretched
condition
were
all
such
as
either
now
liue
,
or
haue
liued
sithence
the
time
of
Christ
.
For
we
neuer
saw
Christ
in
the
flesh
,
we
neuer
beheld
his
bodie
,
wee
were
neuer
conuersant
with
him
on
the
earth
.
But
Christ
hath
told
vs
by
S.
Thomas
,
Beati
qui
non
vident
&
credunt
,
blessed
are
they
that
beleeue
and
haue
not
seene
,
blessed
are
they
that
sée
not
,
and
yet
beléeue
.
These
things
bée
for
our
great
comfort
.
For
although
we
neuer
saw
Christ
with
our
eyes
,
though
he
was
neuer
conuersant
with
vs
,
as
he
was
with
his
Apostles
,
yet
haue
wée
through
him
the
same
saluation
that
the
Apostles
had
,
wée
haue
him
our
redéemer
and
Sauiour
as
they
had
him
.
Now
let
vs
compare
this
saying
of
Christ
vnto
our selues
and
our
time
:
let
vs
sée
whether
this
that
Christ
then
spake
to
his
Disciples
,
may
not
be
spoken
of
vs
,
and
our
time
.
For
thus
ought
wée
to
read
Gods
word
,
to
this
end
we
should
read
the
Scriptures
of
God
.
Now
therefore
,
good
brethren
,
let
vs
consider
well
,
and
sée
whether
the
Church
of
God
hath
not
béene
so
disordered
before
our
time
,
yea
,
and
in
our
time
,
that
wée
may
now
well
say
,
blessed
are
our
eyes
,
and
the
eyes
which
sée
that
wée
sée
:
for
many
a
good
and
godly
man
would
sayne
haue
séene
that
wee
see
,
and
could
not
sée
it
.
I
will
be
short
,
I
will
not
long
trouble
you
in
this
thing
,
I
will
not
vse
many
words
vnto
you
herein
.
The
errors
that
haue
beene
taught
and
preached
in
the
church
of
Christ
,
haue
béene
(
good
brethren
)
so
grosse
,
that
such
as
could
not
sée
them
with
their
eyes
,
might
haue
felt
them
euen
with
their
fingers
:
so
horrible
,
and
so
grosse
were
the
errors
in
the
church
:
so
were
all
things
confounded
,
and
scarcely
the
forme
of
the
Church
left
vnto
vs
.
But
that
this
should
so
come
to
passe
,
Christ
himselfe
,
S.
Paul
,
S.
Peter
,
and
Daniel
the
Prophet
,
long
time
before
gaue
warning
to
the
world
,
and
prophesied
it
should
so
be
.
And
euen
as
they
spake
,
so
hath
it
come
to
passe
,
looke
what
they
said
,
the
same
haue
we
séene
fulfilled
.
For
Christ
himselfe
openly
shewed
,
that
the
time
should
come
,
that
desolation
should
stand
in
the
holy
place
.
And
againe
hée
said
,
When
the
sonne
of
man
shall
come
to
iudge
the
earth
,
thinke
you
that
hee
shall
find
any
faith
vpon
the
earth
?
As
if
he
should
haue
said
,
when
he
shall
come
to
iudge
,
there
shall
be
no
faith
on
the
earth
,
no
fidelitie
and
trust
among
men
,
so
shall
all
things
be
confounded
,
and
no
faith
shal
be
found
.
Saint
Paul
likewise
saith
,
The
time
shall
bee
,
that
Antichrist
shall
nestle
himselfe
in
the
Temple
of
God
,
in
the
consciences
of
men
,
in
the
place
of
Christ
,
and
shal
be
exalted
aboue
all
that
is
called
God
,
or
Gods
seruice
.
And
he
saith
further
,
Erit
tempus
cum
sanam
doctrinam
aspernentur
,
The
daies
shal
come
,
when
men
shall
despise
and
cast
away
all
wholesome
doctrine
:
the
time
shall
be
(
saith
he
)
that
they
shall
not
suffer
this
Gospell
that
I
haue
preached
,
these
Epistes
,
and
letters
which
I
haue
sent
vnto
you
,
But
they
shall
turne
their
eares
from
the
truth
,
and
shall
bee
giuen
vnto
fables
.
This
S.
Paule
aforehand
told
vs
,
and
indéed
wee
haue
found
his
tale
most
true
.
Erunt
magistri
mendatiorum
,
There
shall
come
Preachers
and
teachers
of
lyes
;
there
shall
come
false
teachers
,
which
priuily
shall
bring
in
damnable
sects
.
Daniel
likewise
that
Prophet
of
God
,
there
shall
bee
an
abhominable
desolation
in
the
Temple
,
it
shall
be
destroyed
al
,
and
the
truth
shall
be
cast
flat
to
the
ground
.
Now
,
good
brethren
,
consider
well
with
your selues
,
where
should
this
desolation
be
,
which
Christ
spake
of
?
Amongst
whom
shall
so
small
faith
bee
found
?
Where
should
Antechrist
nestle
himself
?
Where
should
good
Doctrine
be
despised
?
where
should
there
be
preachers
and
teachers
of
lyes
?
Where
shold
the
truth
be
cast
flat
to
the
ground
?
where
should
all
these
things
come
to
passe
?
Amongst
the
Turkes
,
the
Sarasins
,
the
Heathen
,
the
Infidels
?
amongst
such
as
neuer
heard
of
Christ
,
nor
his
Gospell
?
should
these
things
,
that
Christ
,
that
S.
Paule
,
that
S.
Peter
,
that
Daniel
prophesied
to
come
to
passe
,
should
they
(
I
say
)
be
fulfilled
amongst
them
?
Let
not
vs
deceiue
our selues
,
good
brethren
,
Christ
said
that
desolation
should
come
into
the
holy
place
,
that
such
as
professed
God
and
his
name
,
should
haue
little
faith
.
S.
Paule
said
that
Antechrist
should
sit
in
the
holy
place
,
in
the
Temple
of
God
:
that
amongst
Christians
wholsome
doctrine
should
be
despised
,
and
cast
away
:
S.
Peter
also
,
that
euen
amongst
the
professors
of
Gods
Gospel
,
some
there
should
be
that
should
preach
and
teach
lyes
:
And
Daniel
likewise
,
that
in
the
Temple
Antechrist
should
sit
,
and
there
al
truth
should
be
cast
flat
to
the
ground
.
And
this
should
not
come
to
passe
among
the
Heathen
and
Infidels
,
but
in
the
Church
of
Christ
,
euen
in
the
very
Church
of
God
.
S.
Hillarie
,
who
was
an
old
father
in
the
Church
,
saith
:
O
you
will
soone
deceiue
your selues
if
yee
trust
in
the
wals
,
know
you
not
that
Antechrist
in
the
Church
?
Let
vs
not
therfore
deceiue
our selues
,
let
not
vs
,
good
brethren
,
deceiue
our selues
.
And
here
I
pray
you
consider
with
me
,
how
that
God
,
for
our
better
vnderstanding
,
hath
in
similitudes
opened
and
set
forth
vnto
vs
the
state
of
his
Church
.
For
Christ
in
the
Gospell
compareth
his
Church
vnto
a
ship
in
the
Sea
,
tossed
and
tumbled
with
perilous
waues
:
and
what
I
pray
you
,
betides
vnto
a
Ship
so
tossed
in
the
Sea
,
if
there
be
no
Lodes-man
to
stir
it
,
or
if
the
Lodes-man
doth
not
his
duetie
,
Christ
hath
likened
his
Church
to
a
vine
:
Ite
,
&
praedicate
,
Goe
you
&
Preach
:
and
what
is
he
that
euer
saw
the
bishop
of
Rome
in
a
Pulpit
?
who
hath
heard
a
Cardinal
many
times
preach
?
Iudge
you
then
(
my
brethren
)
when
shall
the
ship
come
safe
to
the
hauen
,
if
the
Lodes-man
doth
not
his
duetie
?
When
shall
the
Vine
bring
forth
any
fruit
,
if
the
husbandman
apply
not
his
diligence
to
dung
,
to
shred
,
to
vnderprop
the
same
?
What
shall
become
of
the
flocke
,
if
the
Shéepheard
sheweth
not
his
industry
and
earnest
labour
amongst
them
?
Now
let
vs
consider
a
little
further
,
what
they
were
what
should
haue
bin
our
Lodes-men
:
what
they
were
that
should
haue
plaied
the
good
husbands
in
Gods
vineyard
:
what
they
were
that
should
haue
looked
to
the
flock
of
Christ
.
Here
will
I
declare
nothing
of
my selfe
,
I
will
not
here
vtter
vnto
you
any
thing
of
mine
owne
inuention
;
I
will
onely
shew
you
the
minds
of
the
auncient
Doctors
in
the
Primitiue
Church
,
and
the
sayings
of
old
holy
fathers
,
that
haue
written
of
the
Church
of
God
.
Saint
Gregory
speaking
of
the
Church
of
God
,
saith
,
Ecclesia
Dei
,
si
ab
vno

If
the
Church
of
God
shall
hang
vpon
one
man
,
if
the
whole
sway
thereof
shall
depend
vpon
one
alone
,
that
Church
must
needs
fall
,
saith
S.
Gregorie
.
Now
let
vs
consider
whither
in
times
past
it
hath
bin
so
in
the
Church
of
god
,
whether
we
haue
knowne
one
man
to
haue
called
himselfe
the
head
of
the
Church
:
and
if
it
so
be
,
how
can
it
then
be
otherwise
,
but
that
the
same
Church
must
néeds
perish
and
fall
.
Saint
Barnard
,
an
old
holy
father
writing
of
the
Bishops
and
Prelates
of
the
Church
in
his
time
,
saith
;
Non
sunt
Pastores
,
sed
Impostores
,
non
Doctores
,
sed
Seductores
,
non
Praelati
,
sed
Pilati
:
They
are
not
(
saith
S.
Barnard
)
good
Pastors
and
feeders
of
Gods
flock
,
but
they
are
impostors
,
such
as
deceiue
Gods
sheepe
,
they
are
not
Doctors
,
but
they
are
seductours
,
such
as
lead
men
out
of
the
right
way
:
They
are
not
Prelates
,
but
they
are
verie
Pilates
.
And
againe
,
the
same
Saint
Barnard
,
in
the
Councell
holden
at
Rhemes
,
where
he
made
a
Sermon
in
the
presence
of
the
Bishops
there
assembled
,
said
;
Habemus
iam
non
mercenarios
pro
Pastoribus
,
neque
Lupos
pro
mercenarijs
,
sed
in
loco
Luporum
;
Daemones
habemus
,
Wee
haue
not
now
,
said
this
holy
Father
,
hirelings
in
steed
of
Sheepe-heards
,
nor
Wolues
in
steed
of
hirelings
,
but
in
place
of
Wolues
,
wee
haue
verie
Deuils
.
This
spake
Saint
Barnard
of
the
Preachers
and
Pastors
in
his
time
.
But
O
miserable
is
that
Church
,
wherein
are
hirelings
in
stéed
of
good
Shéepeheards
,
more
miserable
,
where
are
Wolues
in
place
of
hirelings
,
and
most
miserable
,
where
Deuils
in
roome
of
Wolues
.
For
then
all
goeth
to
ruine
and
decay
,
then
must
néeds
all
goodnesse
in
Gods
Church
bee
ouerthrowen
.
And
so
was
it
then
,
so
was
it
in
his
time
,
said
this
old
Father
S.
Barnard
.
So
Platina
also
an
auncient
writer
;
Defecit
tum
maiestas
Imperatoris
,
&
sanctitas
Episcopi
,
When
the
Bishop
of
Rome
,
said
hee
,
tooke
so
much
vpon
him
,
when
hee
would
bee
called
,
Vniuersall
Bishop
,
and
head
of
Gods
Church
,
then
decayed
the
Maiestie
of
the
Emperour
,
and
the
holinesse
in
the
Bishop
.
Saint
Hillarie
likewise
saith
;
The
Church
wherein
Gods
word
is
not
preached
,
must
needes
run
against
the
rocke
.
Tertullian
also
,
Miremur
si
fides
deficit
,
cum
non
sit
instructio
?
Doe
wee
maruaile
(
saith
hee
)
if
faith
faile
,
if
faith
bée
not
found
amongst
men
,
sithence
there
is
no
Preaching
,
no
teaching
,
no
instruction
?
Euen
so
anotherold
writer
speaking
of
his
own
time
,
saith
,
Calamitosa
est
desolatio
in
Domo
Dei
,
There
is
an
horrible
desolation
in
the
Church
of
God
.
And
therefore
also
hee
saith
further
,
Nos
sumus
,
in
quos
feces
terrae
deuenerunt
,
Wee
are
they
,
vpon
whom
all
the
dregs
of
the
earth
are
fallen
.
So
Chrisostome
:
If
you
(
saith
hee
)
perceiue
it
to
wax
darke
in
the
vale
,
you
say
it
is
towards
night
,
if
you
see
it
begin
to
be
darke
on
the
hils
,
you
say
it
is
nigh
night
:
but
if
you
see
it
once
darke
in
the
skie
,
you
say
it
is
high
night
:
So
if
you
sée
ignorance
in
the
people
,
you
may
say
it
i●
towards
night
,
if
you
sée
ignorance
in
the
Priests
,
it
is
almost
night
,
but
if
you
sée
ignorance
and
little
learning
in
the
Bishops
and
Prelates
,
then
may
you
well
say
,
it
is
high
night
.
Barnard
that
holy
father
in
another
place
speaking
of
the
Priests
of
his
owne
time
,
saith
,
Nothing
is
now
safe
amongst
the
Clergie
,
all
things
are
confounded
,
all
things
out
of
order
;
and
therefore
there
is
now
nothing
left
,
but
that
Antechrist
be
reuealed
.
I
recount
here
nothing
vnto
you
,
my
brethren
,
but
onely
the
sayings
of
the
auncient
Doctours
and
holy
Fathers
which
haue
written
of
Gods
Church
in
times
herebefore
,
and
therefore
I
trust
you
will
beleeue
them
the
better
.
The
same
S.
Barnard
of
whom
I
spake
before
,
saith
also
:
It
appeareth
now
that
there
is
no
persecution
,
no
Martyrs
done
vnto
death
:
Nay
not
so
,
saith
he
,
it
is
not
so
,
for
now
euen
they
that
sit
highest
in
the
Church
of
God
,
they
that
beare
the
greatest
stroke
therin
,
they
begin
to
persecute
and
destroy
Gods
seruants
.
And
again
,
speaking
of
the
Priests
and
Prelates
,
They
would
seeme
to
be
Gods
friends
,
yet
they
are
his
enemyes
they
would
be
Christs
kinsmen
,
yet
they
are
his
aduersaries
,
they
would
be
seruants
to
Christ
,
and
yet
they
serue
Antechrist
.
And
thus
,
(
Good
Bretheren
)
it
hath
bin
in
our
time
,
and
you
your selues
haue
séene
it
,
you
your selues
haue
séene
that
the
whole
Church
hath
hanged
on
one
man
alone
:
that
such
as
should
haue
bin
Pastors
,
haue
bin
deceiuers
:
such
as
should
haue
bin
teachers
of
the
right
way
,
haue
bin
seducers
and
guydes
into
blind
wayes
:
such
as
should
haue
bin
Prelats
,
haue
bin
Pilates
.
You
your selues
haue
séene
in
the
Church
of
God
hyrelings
in
stéed
of
good
Shepheards
,
wolfes
in
place
of
hyrelings
,
and
verie
deuils
in
the
roome
of
wolfes
.
All
these
things
haue
bin
spoken
of
afore
,
That
the
Maiestie
in
the
Emperor
,
and
holinesse
in
the
Bishop
should
decay
:
that
where
Gods
word
is
not
preached
,
there
must
the
Church
néeds
run
against
the
rocke
:
that
it
is
little
marueile
if
faith
faileth
,
where
good
instruction
wanteth
:
that
pityfull
desolation
is
come
into
the
house
of
God
:
that
wée
are
they
vpon
whom
the
dregs
of
the
whole
Earth
are
come
:
that
it
is
then
high
night
,
when
ignorance
raigneth
in
the
Bishops
:
and
lastly
,
that
there
is
nothing
now
left
,
but
that
Antechrist
be
reuealed
.
All
these
things
haue
béen
spoken
of
before
,
and
are
now
come
to
passe
,
and
you
your selues
haue
séen
them
,
you
your selues
,
I
say
,
haue
séene
all
these
things
fulfilled
.
You
haue
séene
such
sit
highest
in
Gods
Church
,
that
haue
persecuted
God
&
his
Church
:
such
as
haue
martyrd
the
seruants
of
Christ
,
such
as
would
séeme
Gods
friends
,
and
yet
are
his
enemies
:
such
as
would
be
Christs
kynsmen
,
and
yet
are
his
aduersaries
:
such
as
would
be
seruants
to
Christ
,
and
yet
doe
serue
Antechrist
:
such
as
Esaie
speaketh
of
,
saying
,
They
haue
broken
downe
my
vine
,
and
destroyed
my
wine
presse
:
such
as
Christ
himselfe
speaketh
of
,
and
saith
,
They
haue
made
my
Church
a
den
of
theeues
.
Therefore
(
good
Bretheren
)
let
not
vs
deceiue
our selues
,
let
vs
not
say
all
things
were
wel
in
the
Church
,
there
needed
no
reformation
,
all
things
were
as
they
should
be
,
there
néeded
nothing
to
be
amended
.
For
,
alas
,
all
things
were
out
of
order
,
all
things
out
of
square
,
all
things
so
confounded
,
that
all
things
néeded
to
be
amended
.
I
speake
herein
only
generally
,
I
speake
not
here
of
the
particular
things
amisse
in
Gods
Church
,
for
then
should
time
faile
mée
,
if
I
should
recount
them
vnto
you
particularly
.
In
time
past
,
if
any
one
man
would
haue
sought
comfort
for
his
afflicted
conscience
,
where
should
he
haue
sought
it
?
whether
should
he
haue
gon
for
comfort
?
where
should
he
haue
craued
consolation
?
what
comfort
could
we
haue
of
our
owne
merits
,
what
help
by
our
owne
deserts
,
and
good
déeds
?
what
consolation
of
the
Popes
Bulls
and
Pardons
?
Alas
,
no
comfort
,
no
consolation
,
no
helpe
at
all
.
And
yet
vnto
those
were
wée
taught
to
run
,
in
those
were
we
taught
to
séeke
comfort
,
and
at
them
to
craue
consolation
.
In
the
Church
,
before
time
,
it
hath
béen
both
said
&
sung
vnto
the
people
,
Tu
per
Thomae
sauguinem
,
fac
nos
ascendere
vbi
Thomas
nunc
est
,
Thou
Christ
,
by
the
blood
of
thy
Martyr
S.
Thomas
,
make
vs
worthie
to
ascend
thither
,
where
Thomas
now
is
.
This
,
I
say
,
as
a
praier
hath
béen
vsed
and
sung
in
the
Church
of
God
.
The
Mother
also
,
that
blessed
Mother
of
our
Sauior
Christ
,
hath
bin
openly
blasphemed
in
the
Church
:
shée
was
called
,
Spes
,
vita
,
dulcedo
,
Our
hope
,
our
life
,
and
our
sweetnesse
;
and
further
,
Salua
omnes
sperantes
in
te
,
Saue
all
them
that
trust
in
thee
.
Thus
haue
men
openly
prayed
vnto
her
,
to
the
great
blaspheming
of
her
holie
name
.
But
O
Christ
,
O
thou
that
suffredst
for
the
whole
world
,
where
was
then
thy
Passion
,
where
was
then
that
precious
blood
of
thine
that
washed
awaie
the
sinnes
of
Man
,
where
was
then
the
Lambe
of
God
that
redéemed
all
mankind
?
Loath
I
am
to
speake
of
these
things
,
loath
and
sorie
I
am
to
repeat
them
here
vnto
you
,
but
I
am
inforced
so
to
do
,
somewhat
the
more
plainly
to
open
vnto
you
the
great
abuses
,
the
wonderfull
Errors
that
long
time
haue
raigned
in
the
Church
of
God
.
We
had
Prayers
,
but
,
alas
,
as
they
were
vsed
,
they
were
no
prayers
:
we
had
the
Sacraments
,
but
we
knew
not
to
what
end
those
Sacraments
were
left
vnto
vs
.
We
had
Baptisme
,
but
we
knew
not
what
Baptisme
ment
.
The
Testament
,
and
holie
Gospell
of
God
,
was
burnt
,
cast
downe
,
and
trod
vnder
foot
.
And
in
one
word
,
in
one
word
for
all
,
there
was
in
Christs
Church
nothing
but
a
heap
of
wickednesse
,
nothing
but
a
verie
heap
of
confusion
and
wickednesse
.
Ieremie
the
prophet
said
,
That
all
men
,
should
haue
such
knowledge
,
such
perfit
knowledge
of
God
,
that
no
man
should
say
to
his
neighbor
,
know
the
Lord
,
for
all
men
should
know
him
,
euen
from
the
highest
vnto
the
lowest
.
Baruch
also
the
prophet
,
O
blessed
art
thou
Israel
,
how
happie
art
thou
,
seeing
God
hath
shewed
vnto
thee
all
such
things
as
are
pleasant
vnto
him
;
what
euer
God
would
haue
knowen
,
that
is
reuealed
vnto
thée
.
O
then
,
what
may
we
say
of
our selues
,
and
the
blind
time
that
is
now
past
,
wherein
we
neither
knew
God
,
nor
had
Gods
word
reuealed
vnto
vs
?
what
may
we
say
of
that
time
?
O
we
may
well
say
,
miserable
were
wée
,
and
cursed
was
that
time
wherein
wée
then
lyued
.
And
thus
(
Good
Bretheren
)
I
haue
in
few
words
laid
open
before
you
,
both
the
miserable
estate
that
Gods
Church
hath
stood
in
,
and
the
great
ignorance
,
error
,
and
blindnesse
that
you
haue
béen
led
in
:
to
the
end
,
that
you
may
now
become
the
more
thankfull
for
Gods
great
mercie
shewed
vnto
you
.
For
now
hath
it
pleased
Almightie
God
to
reueale
vnto
you
his
holie
Gospell
,
his
trueth
,
and
veritie
.
Now
we
know
that
what
euer
we
doe
,
when
we
haue
done
all
things
that
we
can
doe
,
yet
,
we
are
vnprofitable
seruants
.
his
blood
alone
,
as
S.
Iohn
saith
,
hath
washed
away
our
iniquities
:
O
happie
are
we
,
for
all
things
that
God
would
haue
knowen
are
reuealed
vnto
vs
.
And
therefore
blessed
are
our
eyes
,
and
the
eyes
which
sée
that
we
sée
;
And
on
the
other
part
accursed
are
those
eyes
which
will
not
sée
that
we
sée
,
accursed
are
the
eares
which
will
not
heare
that
we
heare
,
&
accursed
are
those
harts
that
will
not
beléeue
God
,
&
his
Gospell
.
My
Bretheren
,
consider
the
miserable
estate
that
the
Church
of
God
long
time
hath
stood
in
,
and
consider
againe
,
the
spéedie
redresse
thereof
,
which
God
now
hath
sent
vnto
vs
.
The
kingdome
of
God
is
come
vpon
vs
,
Gods
kingdome
(
my
Bretheren
)
is
euen
now
come
vpon
vs
.
Christ
said
,
O
Ierusalem
,
Ierusalem
,
thou
that
stonest
my
Prophets
,
and
such
as
are
sent
vnto
thee
,
O
that
thou
wouldest
know
the
time
of
thy
visitation
.
We
are
that
Ierusalem
,
Christ
hath
called
,
Christ
hath
cryed
vnto
vs
:
O
therefore
let
vs
now
sée
and
consider
the
time
of
our
visitation
.
O
how
manie
of
our
Bretheren
which
haue
suffred
persecution
for
Christ
and
his
Gaspell
,
how
manie
of
them
,
I
say
,
would
faine
haue
séene
the
things
that
we
sée
,
and
heare
that
which
we
heare
,
and
could
not
sée
it
.
O
let
vs
not
despise
our
Brothers
blood
,
let
vs
not
despise
the
calling
of
christ
,
let
vs
not
despise
the
blessing
of
God
,
the
greatest
that
may
be
.
Alas
,
if
we
consider
the
miserable
estate
that
we
haue
stood
in
,
and
the
great
goodnesse
and
mercie
of
God
now
shewed
vnto
vs
,
doubtlesse
we
cannot
despise
this
great
mercie
of
his
,
vnlesse
we
will
be
too
vnthankfull
,
we
cannot
neglect
this
merueilous
worke
,
and
goodnesse
of
his
,
vnlesse
we
will
be
counted
too
much
ingratfull
.
Let
vs
therefore
make
our selues
new
harts
,
new
soules
,
new
minds
,
let
vs
ioyfully
imbrace
God
and
his
Gospell
,
let
our
eyes
,
our
eares
,
and
our
harts
say
,
Blessed
are
the
eyes
which
sée
that
we
sée
,
and
eares
which
heare
that
we
heare
:
for
manie
Kings
and
Prophets
haue
desired
to
sée
that
we
sée
,
and
could
not
sée
it
.
And
thus
if
we
doe
,
then
shall
we
be
blessed
,
then
shall
our
eyes
,
our
eares
,
our
harts
,
be
blessed
;
and
God
the
father
of
light
,
and
giuer
of
all
goodnesse
,
shall
blesse
vs
,
and
remaine
with
vs
for
euer
.
Amen

We
therefore
as
helpers
,
exhort
you
that
ye
receiue
not
the
grace
of
God
in
vaine
.

For
he
saith
,
I
haue
heard
thee
in
an
acceptable
time
,
and
in
the
day
of
saluation
I
haue
succoured
thee
,
&c.
SAint
Paul
,
after
he
first
began
to
preach
the
glad
tydings
of
the
Gospell
,
and
testifie
the
name
of
Christ
vnto
the
whole
world
,
as
he
was
much
troubled
with
false
Prophets
,
false
Teachers
,
and
such
as
seduced
the
people
from
God
;
euen
so
he
found
a
number
of
them
among
the
Corinthians
,
to
whom
he
wrot
this
Epistle
,
or
Letter
.
Some
of
them
,
to
discredite
Paul
,
and
bring
an
euill
opinion
of
him
among
the
people
,
said
he
was
an
enemie
vnto
Moyses
,
one
that
sought
to
abolish
the
Law
giuen
by
Moyses
,
and
such
a
one
as
despised
and
brake
the
same
.
Some
other
said
that
he
was
a
teacher
of
false
doctrine
,
a
seducer
of
the
people
,
one
that
dissented
cleane
from
the
rest
of
the
Apostles
,
yea
,
and
such
a
one
as
disquieted
the
whole
Church
of
Christ
.
All
these
things
were
reported
by
S.
Paul
,
thus
was
he
slaundered
,
thus
was
he
euill
spoken
of
:
and
this
was
done
euen
by
such
as
professed
the
name
of
Christ
.
Therefore
he
féeling
himselfe
herewith
touched
,
and
perceiuing
also
that
this
not
only
touched
him
,
but
God
him selfe
,
thought
good
by
his
Letters
to
auoyd
this
slaunder
so
risen
,
and
to
cléere
himselfe
vnto
the
Corinthians
,
among
whom
this
euil
brute
first
sprang
of
him
.
And
therefore
in
the
Chapter
before
,
he
said
,
Christ
hath
committed
vnto
vs
the
preaching
of
the
attonement
,
&
so
what
euer
we
doe
,
what
euer
we
teach
,
or
preach
vnto
you
,
is
only
to
this
end
,
to
shew
our selues
instruments
of
the
reconciliation
betwéene
Christ
and
you
.
Now
then
are
wee
messengers
in
the
roome
of
Christ
,
and
therefore
,
euen
as
though
God
did
beseech
you
thorough
vs
,
so
pray
we
you
,
that
ye
be
at
one
with
God
;
and
further
we
exhort
you
,
that
ye
receiue
not
the
grace
of
God
in
vaine
.
Almightie
God
perceiuing
the
frailtie
and
weaknesse
of
this
nature
of
ours
,
euen
at
the
first
beginning
of
the
world
pronounced
thus
,
Pronum
est
cor
hominis
ad
malum
,
à
inuentute
sua
The
hart
of
man
is
prone
and
readie
vnto
euill
,
euen
from
the
cradle
.
This
God
himselfe
saw
well
in
our
weake
nature
,
and
therefore
he
spake
thus
of
it
.
So
dull
are
wée
of
our selues
,
to
learne
any
good
,
and
so
quicke
are
we
to
forget
the
same
,
so
readie
are
we
to
fall
vnto
vice
,
and
so
hard
are
we
to
incline
vnto
vertue
.
And
this
hath
béene
ingraffed
in
vs
,
this
hath
béen
grounded
in
this
nature
of
ours
,
euen
from
the
beginning
,
and
this
will
so
continue
in
vs
whiles
the
world
lasteth
.
The
hart
of
man
hath
alwayes
béen
readie
to
fall
from
God
,
and
decline
vnto
vice
,
alwayes
prone
vnto
euill
,
and
hard
to
be
won
vnto
good
.
And
therefore
it
behooueth
all
such
as
are
Preachers
,
all
such
as
are
messengers
sent
from
God
,
and
will
shew
them selues
as
trustie
and
faithfull
seruants
,
it
behooueth
them
not
only
to
shew
their
message
,
to
declare
their
commission
,
but
they
must
also
incourage
them
to
whom
they
are
sent
,
they
must
improue
,
rebuke
,
exhort
,
and
controul
them
,
and
that
in
time
and
out
of
time
,
in
season
and
out
of
season
,
that
their
message
may
be
fruitfull
,
and
they
found
faithfull
.
So
Paul
to
Timothe
saith
,
Insta
oportunè
,
importunè
,
Preach
the
word
,
be
feruent
,
be
it
in
season
,
or
out
of
season
,
Do
the
worke
of
a
Preacher
,
be
earnest
,
call
vpon
them
,
both
in
time
,
and
out
of
time
.
And
euen
this
thing
that
he
willed
his
Scholler
Timothe
to
doe
,
the
same
performed
he
in
him selfe
;
I
haue
not
ceased
,
saith
he
,
to
Preach
vnto
you
,
to
teach
you
both
day
and
night
.
So
likewise
in
another
place
,
he
saith
,
Mundus
sum
ego
à
sanguine
omnium
vestrorum
,
I
am
cleane
from
the
blood
of
you
all
,
I
am
pure
from
the
blood
of
all
men
:
For
I
haue
kept
nothing
backe
,
but
haue
shewed
you
all
the
counsell
of
God
.
So
in
like
,
he
saith
,
Quis
infirmatur
,
&
ego
non
infirmor
?
Who
is
weake
,
and
I
am
not
weake
?
Who
is
hurt
in
the
faith
,
and
my
hart
burneth
not
?
As
who
would
say
,
there
is
none
of
you
all
,
no
not
the
least
of
you
,
that
is
gréeued
,
but
I
also
am
gréeued
,
none
of
you
troubled
,
but
I
also
troubled
,
none
of
you
made
weake
,
but
I
also
am
made
weake
with
him
.
Filioli
mei
,
quos
iterum
parturio
,
My
litle
children
,
of
whom
I
trauaile
in
byrth
againe
,
vntill
Christ
be
fashioned
in
you
.
Thus
was
S.
Paul
alwayes
carefull
for
the
saluation
of
the
people
:
thus
was
he
continually
mindfull
of
the
safegard
of
his
Bretheren
,
&
what
euer
griefe
or
disquietnesse
fell
to
any
of
the
flocke
of
Christ
,
the
same
was
a
griefe
and
disquietnesse
vnto
him
.
And
thus
must
euery
good
Preacher
doe
,
thus
must
all
such
doe
,
as
are
sent
messengers
from
God
,
and
will
shew
them selues
faythfull
seruants
,
and
true
workmen
in
Gods
vineyard
.
We
must
doe
that
which
longeth
vnto
vs
,
and
then
will
God
doe
that
longeth
vnto
him
.
Wée
must
admonish
the
people
outwardly
,
and
God
will
moue
their
hearts
inwardly
.
Saint
Paul
speaking
of
him selfe
,
of
Apollo
,
of
Cephas
,
and
other
such
,
Paulus
plantauit
,
Apollo
rigauit
,
at
Dominus
dedit
incrementum
,
Paul
planted
,
Apollo
watered
,
but
God
gaue
the
increase
.
God
it
was
,
yea
,
God
alone
that
gaue
the
increase
.
These
things
,
I
speake
now
to
them
which
haue
taken
vpon
them
the
ministerie
of
Gods
word
,
to
them
that
haue
taken
vpon
them
to
be
guides
vnto
the
flocke
of
Christ
,
to
them
I
speake
this
,
to
put
them
in
remembrance
,
that
they
neuer
forget
their
message
,
that
they
forget
not
their
duetie
,
that
they
improue
,
rebuke
,
exhort
,
and
controul
the
people
,
that
they
be
earnest
and
feruent
,
calling
still
vpon
them
,
both
in
time
&
out
of
time
,
in
season
&
out
of
season
,
that
they
fulfill
the
office
whereunto
they
are
called
,
that
their
conscience
may
be
found
without
spot
:
and
in
conclusion
,
that
they
may
plant
,
that
they
may
water
,
and
God
may
giue
the
increase
,
that
they
may
both
reforme
the
vngodlie
,
and
incourage
the
godlie
.
And
this
haue
wée
in
our
commission
,
this
is
our
duetie
,
this
will
be
required
of
vs
;
and
this
if
we
doe
not
,
we
shall
be
found
faultie
:
for
,
we
are
debtors
vnto
all
men
,
O
domine
,
me
potius
de
leas
de
libro
vitae
,
Sooner
then
that
these
perish
,
O
Lord
,
wipe
me
out
of
the
Booke
of
life
,
let
my
name
be
striken
out
of
it
.
So
Paule
,
Cupio
Anathema
esse
pro
fratribus
meis
,
I
wish
my self
to
bee
accursed
from
Christ
for
my
brethren
,
I
would
that
I
might
be
cast
away
,
so
they
might
be
saued
.
O
my
brethren
,
consider
these
harts
,
consider
,
I
say
,
the
zealous
hart
that
Moses
,
the
zealous
affection
that
Paule
had
vnto
the
saluation
of
the
people
.
What
thinke
you
is
it
to
be
striken
out
of
the
booke
of
life
?
What
thinke
you
is
it
to
be
a
man
accursed
,
and
haue
portion
among
reprobates
?
Moses
was
content
to
be
blotted
out
of
the
booke
of
life
,
so
that
the
people
of
Israell
might
be
saued
.
S.
Paule
was
content
to
bée
accursed
and
cast
from
the
face
of
God
,
so
that
Gods
people
might
not
be
cast
to
perdition
.
Thus
they
of
an
earnest
heart
and
zealous
loue
they
bare
to
the
congregation
of
God
,
wished
their
owne
destruction
for
the
safegard
of
others
.
Therefore
also
it
behooueth
you
,
my
brethren
,
you
that
are
temporall
men
,
it
behooueth
you
on
the
other
part
not
to
despise
Gods
messengers
,
not
to
set
light
by
them
that
preach
you
the
Gospel
and
glad
tydings
of
your
saluation
.
For
this
is
the
onely
meanes
whereby
it
pleaseth
God
that
we
should
be
saued
,
this
onely
is
it
whereby
the
people
is
won
vnto
Christ
.
God
might
haue
sent
an
Angel
vnto
the
chamberlaine
of
the
Quéene
Candace
,
I
beseech
you
,
saith
Saint
Paule
,
that
yee
receiue
not
the
grace
of
God
in
vaine
.
This
onely
Boun
I
aske
of
you
,
this
is
onely
the
request
that
I
make
vnto
you
,
that
yee
take
not
the
grace
of
God
in
vaine
.
A
great
matter
it
were
if
any
one
man
would
misuse
the
grace
of
his
Prince
,
a
great
matter
it
were
for
a
man
to
despise
the
friendship
of
his
friend
,
or
the
gentlenesse
of
his
enemie
:
but
a
greater
matter
it
is
,
yea
a
farre
greater
matter
,
to
take
the
grace
of
God
in
vaine
.
For
what
auaileth
it
vs
,
what
should
it
profit
vs
,
if
GOD
once
deliuer
vs
from
our
sins
,
and
we
turne
againe
to
our
old
wickednesse
?
What
gained
wee
,
if
the
couenant
of
God
,
and
Testament
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
be
broken
vnto
vs
,
if
we
receiue
the
same
in
vaine
?
Blessed
are
they
(
saith
Christ
)
which
heare
the
word
of
God
,
and
keepe
it
.
The
Scribes
,
the
Pharisies
,
the
Iewes
,
Annas
,
Caiphas
,
and
Pilate
heard
the
word
of
God
,
heard
Christ
himselfe
speak
&
preach
amongst
them
,
and
yet
they
receiued
this
word
of
God
in
vain
,
they
receiued
this
grace
of
God
in
vain
.
Christ
likened
his
word
to
a
sower
that
went
forth
and
sowed
his
seed
,
whereof
some
fell
by
the
way
side
,
and
so
wast
troden
with
mens
feet
and
destroyed
,
some
on
the
stone
,
which
tooke
roote
,
but
yet
soone
withered
away
because
it
lacked
moistnesse
,
some
fell
among
thornes
,
and
the
thornes
sprung
vp
with
it
and
choked
it
.
So
the
poore
husbandman
lost
in
maner
his
whole
cost
and
labour
,
for
of
all
that
he
sowed
,
little
fell
into
the
good
ground
&
brought
any
increase
.
And
euen
thus
standeth
it
with
Gods
Gospell
now
a
daies
:
for
preach
we
neuer
so
oft
,
teach
wee
neuer
so
much
,
few
,
yea
verie
few
are
found
that
receiue
the
same
,
&
continue
therin
,
and
so
bring
forth
fruits
of
saluation
.
When
Moses
the
seruant
of
God
,
was
but
a
little
time
departed
from
the
people
,
Vnus
vestrum
Daemon
est
,
One
of
you
is
the
Deuill
.
And
this
did
he
because
he
receiued
the
grace
of
God
in
vaine
.
And
therefore
S.
Paule
in
this
place
willed
the
Corinthians
that
they
should
not
receiue
the
grace
of
God
in
vaine
,
as
the
people
did
in
Moses
time
:
that
they
should
not
receiue
it
as
they
did
which
liued
in
the
time
of
Iosuah
:
that
they
should
not
in
such
sort
take
it
as
Saule
did
:
and
lastly
that
they
should
not
so
receiue
it
in
vaine
as
Iudas
did
,
and
worke
their
owne
destruction
.
This
was
his
request
,
this
thing
he
onely
desired
,
that
they
wold
not
receiue
the
grace
of
God
in
vaine
.
For
God
saith
,
In
an
acceptable
time
haue
I
heard
thee
,
and
in
the
day
of
saluation
haue
I
succoured
thee
.
These
words
are
written
in
the
prophesie
of
Esay
,
and
pronounced
they
were
by
him
of
the
apparance
of
Christ
our
Sauiour
,
and
his
comming
into
this
world
.
And
these
words
thus
spoken
by
the
Prophet
,
S.
Paule
here
fitly
applyed
to
the
preaching
of
Christs
gospell
.
For
like
as
our
Sauiour
came
into
the
world
at
such
time
as
Christ
was
borne
;
so
when
the
Gospell
is
truely
preached
,
and
Gods
holy
word
sincerely
taught
vs
,
then
is
Christ
opened
vnto
vs
,
then
is
the
acceptable
time
,
and
our
saluation
,
is
wrought
thereby
.
Therefore
S.
Hierom
that
holy
father
and
old
Doctour
of
the
Church
,
saith
;
Quotiescunque
audimus
Euangelium
Christi
,
toties
caro
&
sanguis
Christi
funduntur
in
aures
nostras
.
As
often
as
we
hear
the
Gospel
of
Christ
preached
vnto
vs
,
so
oft
the
flesh
and
bloud
of
Christ
is
powred
into
our
eares
,
saith
S.
Hierom.
And
these
words
of
his
do
plainly
and
most
euidently
shew
vs
,
how
we
should
vnderstand
the
eating
of
Christs
body
,
&
drinking
of
his
most
holy
bloud
in
the
Sacrament
;
these
words
,
I
say
,
may
sufficiently
teach
vs
what
is
meant
by
the
eating
&
drinking
of
Christs
body
&
bloud
.
This
is
it
that
S.
Paule
here
speaketh
of
,
that
they
receiue
not
the
grace
of
God
in
vain
.
And
whensoeuer
the
gospel
of
God
is
truly
&
sincerely
preached
,
and
it
receiued
accordingly
,
then
is
the
acceptable
time
,
then
is
the
time
of
grace
and
saluation
.
O
what
a
comfortable
saying
is
this
;
whensoeuer
we
heare
the
Gospell
taught
vs
,
whensoeuer
we
heare
Gods
holy
word
preached
vnto
vs
,
then
is
the
gate
of
saluation
set
open
vnto
vs
,
and
then
is
the
time
of
grace
.
And
on
the
contrarie
part
,
when
Gods
word
is
taken
from
vs
,
and
the
light
of
his
Gospel
hidden
from
our
eyes
,
then
is
the
gate
of
saluation
shut
vpon
vs
,
and
then
is
the
time
of
perdition
.
But
alas
,
the
time
of
grace
,
the
acceptable
time
,
the
time
of
mercie
and
saluation
hath
oftentimes
but
little
continuance
among
vs
,
oftentimes
it
hath
small
time
of
abiding
with
vs
.
For
before
Christ
appeared
,
and
was
borne
into
this
world
,
for
the
space
of
foure
hundred
yeares
,
the
whole
world
,
the
Iewes
onely
excepted
,
was
in
ignorance
and
altogether
blindnesse
.
And
when
Christ
was
borne
,
when
hee
once
appeared
,
then
was
the
acceptable
time
,
then
was
the
time
of
grace
,
then
was
the
time
of
saluation
.
Here
some
man
will
peraduenture
say
;
Why
did
God
suffer
the
whole
world
so
long
to
be
in
blindnesse
?
why
would
he
in
that
long
time
haue
no
respect
to
any
other
nation
,
but
onely
to
the
nation
of
the
Iewes
?
This
case
is
déepe
,
and
passeth
our
capacitie
to
reason
,
it
is
aboue
the
reach
of
mans
wit
,
and
therefore
herein
wee
haue
onely
to
submit
our selues
,
to
humble
our
hearts
and
our
minds
,
and
say
with
Paul
the
Apostle
,
O
homo
quis
tu
qui
Deum
arguis
?
O
man
,
what
art
thou
that
findest
fault
with
God
?
What
art
thou
that
reproouest
the
almightie
?
As
God
of
his
prouidence
and
good
wisedome
hath
appointed
for
vs
both
Sommer
and
Winter
,
the
spring
,
and
likewise
the
fall
of
the
leafe
againe
:
So
hath
hee
ordained
a
time
of
light
,
and
a
time
of
darkenesse
,
a
time
of
saluation
,
and
a
time
of
destruction
.
And
no
man
may
say
vnto
him
,
Why
doest
thou
thus
?
These
things
séeme
good
in
his
eyes
,
and
therefore
what
art
thou
,
I
will
send
an
hunger
vpon
the
earth
,
not
the
hunger
of
bread
,
nor
the
thirst
of
water
,
but
an
hunger
to
heare
the
word
of
the
Lord
:
so
that
they
shall
goe
from
one
Sea
to
the
other
,
yea
,
from
the
〈◊〉
vnto
the
East
,
running
about
to
●●ke
the
word
of
the
Lord
,
and
shall
not
find
it
.
Christ
himselfe
also
in
the
Gospell
,
The
kingdome
of
God
shall
bee
taken
away
from
you
.
And
yet
,
when
hée
hath
thus
done
,
when
hée
hath
sent
an
h●nger
and
thirst
of
his
wor●
into
the
●arth
,
when
hée
hath
taken
Gods
kingdome
from
amongst
vs
;
yet
I
say
,
hée
oftentimes
powreth
downe
his
t●ueth
into
the
earth
,
hée
distilleth
his
grace
from
heaheauen
,
that
it
may
sinke
into
the
hearts
of
men
:
For
so
sayeth
God
by
his
Prophet
Malachie
,
Abortu
solis
,
vsque
ad
occasum
,
magnum
est
nomen
meum
inter
Gentes
:
My
name
is
great
,
euen
from
the
rysing
of
the
Sunne
to
the
fall
thereof
,
amongst
all
Nations
.
I
am
a
great
King
(
sayeth
the
Lord
)
and
my
name
is
feareful
amongst
the
Heathen
.
This
is
the
time
that
the
Prophet
Esay
calleth
The
acceptable
time
.
And
what
néedeth
moe
examples
?
the
whole
Scriptures
,
both
the
old
and
the
new
Testament
,
are
full
of
these
and
such
like
other
.
There
are
times
that
are
times
of
knowledge
,
there
are
times
againe
that
are
times
of
ignorance
.
And
who
is
there
now
,
what
man
so
old
,
or
child
so
young
,
but
may
well
remember
the
blindnesse
that
hath
béene
in
our
time
,
and
our
fathers
times
before
vs
?
Who
is
so
blind
,
who
so
farre
past
knowledge
,
but
may
both
well
sée
and
remember
the
darke
ignorance
that
hath
béen
in
times
past
,
and
the
great
grace
that
God
hath
now
powred
down
vpon
vs
in
these
our
dayes
?
Therefore
as
Saint
Paul
gaue
the
Corinthians
warning
that
they
should
not
receiue
the
grace
f●
God
in
vaine
:
euen
so
now
he
warneth
vs
,
and
biddeth
vs
beware
that
wee
take
not
this
grace
of
God
in
vaine
,
that
wee
turne
not
to
our
old
vanitie
againe
,
that
wée
returne
not
to
our
former
wickednesse
,
that
wée
defile
not
the
Gospell
of
God
by
our
euill
and
corrupt
liuing
.
And
therefore
in
another
place
hée
saith
,
Giue
your
members
as
instruments
of
righteousnesse
vnto
God
,
and
let
not
sinne
haue
power
ouer
you
.
Herein
is
set
out
vnto
vs
,
and
as
it
were
painted
before
our
eyes
,
our
whole
office
and
duetie
,
and
how
that
wée
as
well
by
our
workes
,
as
our
words
,
should
bée
an
example
and
paterne
for
other
men
to
follow
,
and
that
wée
giue
no
cause
of
offence
or
slaunder
of
the
Gospell
of
God
.
I
speake
this
not
onely
to
the
Preachers
and
Ministers
of
Gods
word
(
though
chiefly
to
them
indéed
)
but
I
speake
it
generally
to
all
you
my
brethren
,
that
professe
Gods
Gospell
,
and
beare
the
name
of
Christ
.
For
S.
Paul
indifferently
to
all
men
saith
,
Yee
are
not
the
children
of
darkenesse
,
but
the
c●●i●ren
of
light
,
walke
you
therefore
as
becommeth
the
children
of
light
.
And
againe
in
another
place
,
hée
sayth
,
Giue
no
man
occasion
of
euill
,
offend
no
man
,
that
in
your
office
yee
bee
not
found
faultie
.
And
such
was
in
old
time
the
life
of
all
good
&
godly
men
,
such
was
their
liuing
that
professed
Gods
Gospell
,
and
the
name
of
Iesus
Christ
.
But
if
it
so
happen
(
as
oftentimes
it
chaunceth
)
that
men
will
néeds
bée
offended
with
vs
,
liue
wée
neuer
so
vprightly
,
walke
we
neuer
so
circumspectly
(
as
Christ
,
notwithstanding
he
was
the
Sauiour
of
the
world
,
notwithstanding
hée
was
without
spot
,
and
one
that
neuer
transgressed
the
law
,
yet
was
called
the
Stone
of
offence
:
)
Let
them
alone
,
they
are
blind
,
the
leaders
of
the
blind
.
This
is
the
comfort
that
wee
haue
,
this
is
all
the
comfort
that
is
left
vnto
vs
,
if
any
man
wilfully
be
offended
with
vs
,
if
any
man
iudge
of
vs
other
than
we
deserue
:
for
so
it
behooueth
vs
to
line
,
so
ought
wée
to
direct
our
liues
,
that
if
any
man
accuse
vs
,
if
any
man
find
fault
with
vs
,
our
vpright
liuing
may
be
a
testimonis
against
him
,
and
be
able
to
confound
him
.
to
take
away
occasion
of
offence
.
When
Christ
by
procurement
of
his
enemies
,
(
the
Scribes
and
Pharisies
)
was
brought
be●ore
Pilat
to
bée
condemned
and
adiudged
to
death
,
the
innocencie
of
his
〈◊〉
was
such
,
that
hée
was
cléered
and
a●●●i●ed
euen
by
the
mouth
of
his
verie
enemie
:
For
when
Pilate
had
heard
all
that
was
laid
against
him
,
and
〈◊〉
whole
accusations
wherewith
they
〈◊〉
him
,
he
pronounced
openly
,
and
said
,
I
find
〈◊〉
fault
in
this
man
.
The
Scribes
when
they
had
nothing
to
accuse
Christs
Disciples
of
,
nor
nothing
wher●●
they
might
intrap
them
,
〈…〉
of
their
Law
,
they
came
vnto
our
Sauiour
Christ
▪
and
said
,
Quare
non
obseruant
Discipul●●●
traditiones
〈…〉
?
Why
doe
not
thy
Disciples
obserue
the
traditions
of
our
fathers
?
Why
keepe
they
not
the
customes
of
our
elders
?
said
they
.
And
vpon
this
place
of
the
Gospell
,
Saint
Chrysostome
an
old
Doctor
of
the
Church
,
saith
thus
:
That
the
Disciples
of
Christ
in
all
points
so
exactly
fulfilled
the
law
,
that
the
Scribes
could
find
no
fault
in
them
as
touching
the
same
:
and
therefore
they
controlled
them
for
breaking
their
owne
traditions
,
and
the
traditions
of
their
forefathers
.
Traianus
that
Emperour
of
Rome
,
and
most
cruell
persecutor
of
the
Christians
in
his
time
,
when
hée
had
vsed
al
kind
of
extremity
towards
them
,
and
indéed
put
a
wonderfull
number
vnto
death
,
and
heard
say
,
that
they
all
suffered
merueilous
patiently
,
and
willingly
went
so
execution
,
and
that
notwithstanding
th●●
,
they
dayly
encreased
and
grew
more
and
more
:
hée
sent
abroad
into
all
parts
of
his
dominion
,
to
vnderstand
what
manner
of
men
they
were
,
of
what
〈◊〉
,
and
in
what
sort
they
liued
,
that
〈◊〉
the
name
of
Christ
:
And
〈…〉
ha●
from
〈…〉
Gentleman
of
〈◊〉
and
a
Magistrat
in
that
Citie
;
〈◊〉
sayd
,
That
they
were
men
without
〈◊〉
and
liued
without
offence
,
as
touching
the
lawes
,
sauing
that
in
the
morning
they
vsed
to
resort
together
,
and
so
make
their
prayers
,
and
call
vpon
the
name
of
Iesus
.
Tertullian
also
,
an
old
father
of
the
Church
,
sayth
,
that
in
his
time
this
report
went
of
one
Scianus
,
a
Christian
,
and
was
amongst
all
men
so
common
a
saying
,
that
in
maner
it
became
a
prouerbe
:
Marcus
Scianus
,
vir
bonus
,
si
non
Christianus
.
This
was
all
the
fault
they
could
find
in
him
,
That
hee
was
a
Christian
man
,
and
one
that
professed
the
name
of
Christ
.
So
the
same
Tertullian
in
another
place
speaking
of
the
Christians
in
his
time
,
saith
,
Vide
,
appellant
se
fratres
&
mori
volunt
pro
inuic●m
:
Loe
,
they
call
themselues
brethren
,
and
one
will
die
for
another
.
This
was
the
only
fault
they
found
in
them
,
that
they
loued
so
together
,
that
one
would
vouchsafe
to
die
for
the
other
:
this
was
I
say
,
the
greatest
fault
,
that
they
could
find
no
fault
in
them
.
Thus
was
it
amongst
Christians
in
the
beginning
of
Christs
Church
,
and
thus
ought
it
to
bée
amongst
vs
:
so
should
wee
liue
,
that
we
may
be
found
vnreproouable
and
vnspotted
in
the
sight
of
all
men
.
And
therefore
Saint
Paul
here
saith
,
that
wée
should
walke
in
such
honestie
,
in
such
vprightnesse
of
life
,
That
wee
giue
no
man
occasion
of
euill
,
that
in
our
office
there
be
found
no
fault
:
that
if
any
man
would
accuse
vs
,
hée
might
be
controlled
by
our
vertuous
life
:
that
our
enemies
haue
nothing
to
lay
to
our
charge
,
nothing
to
accuse
vs
withall
;
but
that
euen
their
owne
mouthes
should
acquit
and
discharge
vs
:
that
in
our selues
and
our
liues
,
there
should
none
other
fault
bee
found
,
but
onely
this
,
that
wée
are
called
Christians
:
that
we
should
in
such
loue
liue
together
,
that
one
of
vs
would
willingly
dye
for
the
other
:
And
lastly
,
that
this
onely
fault
should
bée
in
vs
,
that
wee
are
cleane
and
without
fault
,
that
both
our
words
,
works
,
and
déeds
may
testifie
vs
to
be
professors
of
God
,
and
his
holy
gospell
.
Good
people
,
let
vs
consider
that
God
of
his
goodnesse
hath
sent
vnto
vs
this
acceptable
time
,
the
time
of
mercie
and
grace
:
that
hée
hath
deliuered
vs
from
the
horrible
thraldome
that
wée
sometimes
liued
in
:
that
God
hath
put
away
the
blindnesse
,
and
dispersed
that
great
darkenesse
where
under
the
whole
word
was
sometime
whelmed
:
that
we
may
now
worship
him
in
spirit
and
holinesse
,
without
superstition
or
idolatrie
:
that
wée
may
now
walke
in
the
light
,
without
any
error
or
wandring
.
And
this
great
blessing
of
his
,
who
so
seeth
not
,
I
pray
God
open
his
eyes
that
he
may
both
see
and
vnderstand
it
.
Let
vs
not
,
good
brethren
,
let
vs
not
take
this
grace
of
God
in
vaine
,
let
vs
not
despise
this
Gospell
of
Christ
,
wherby
the
whole
world
is
saued
.
God
knoweth
how
long
this
acceptable
time
,
this
time
of
grace
,
this
time
of
saluation
,
shall
last
and
continue
amongst
vs
.
And
what
knowest
thou
▪
O
thou
man
,
whether
by
one
onely
Sermon
many
may
bée
conuerted
,
and
wonne
to
the
faith
of
Iesus
Christ
?
Saint
Hierome
hath
a
saying
worthie
to
bée
noted
,
and
it
is
this
:
I
know
not
saith
Saint
Hierome
,
whether
that
soule
may
bee
saued
,
that
is
negligent
in
hearing
the
word
of
God
,
and
the
Gospell
of
his
saluation
preached
:
I
know
not
,
saith
he
,
whether
such
a
soule
may
be
saued
.
Alas
,
good
brethren
,
wée
are
not
able
to
saue
you
,
God
is
your
onely
Sauiour
and
redéemer
:
wee
are
but
Gods
messengers
sent
vnto
you
,
wee
are
but
helpers
appointed
to
exhort
you
to
the
Gospell
of
God
,
and
to
open
vnto
you
the
glorie
of
your
saluation
.
If
you
then
will
wilfully
refuse
to
heare
Gods
holy
word
,
and
will
not
embrace
the
same
,
wée
cannot
saue
you
,
wee
are
not
able
to
worke
your
saluation
.
I
my selfe
rose
vp
euer
betimes
to
warne
my
people
,
Ieremie
,
I
my selfe
stand
all
the
day
at
the
gate
crying
vnto
them
to
commune
with
them
,
yet
would
they
not
heare
,
I
called
vnto
them
,
yet
would
they
not
answere
me
.
O
my
deere
brethren
,
God
knocketh
,
let
vs
open
the
gates
of
our
hearts
vnto
him
:
hée
calleth
,
let
vs
heare
him
:
hee
cryeth
,
and
willeth
vs
to
come
vnto
him
;
O
therefore
let
vs
runne
,
let
vs
make
hast
,
I
haue
euer
stretched
out
my
hands
to
an
vnfaithfull
people
,
saith
God
by
his
Prophet
Esay
:
all
the
day
long
haue
I
stretched
out
mine
armes
vnto
a
people
that
will
not
heare
me
:
all
the
day
long
haue
I
stretched
out
my
hands
vnto
them
,
and
yet
they
will
not
know
me
:
I
haue
sent
you
the
acceptable
time
,
I
haue
giuen
you
the
dayes
of
grace
,
the
dayes
of
mercie
,
the
dayes
of
saluation
.
O
then
let
vs
not
receiue
this
acceptable
time
in
vaine
,
let
vs
not
take
this
grace
of
God
in
vaine
:
Let
vs
remember
how
many
thousands
of
people
perish
this
day
for
want
of
the
gospell
of
God
,
and
knowledge
of
his
holy
word
.
Wée
are
they
whom
God
hath
called
to
bee
his
children
,
whom
hée
hath
appointed
to
bée
saued
,
whom
he
hath
receiued
to
his
grace
and
mercie
.
If
wée
haue
any
great
policie
,
if
wée
haue
any
great
wit
,
if
wée
haue
any
learning
,
riches
wealth
,
and
felicitie
in
this
world
:
let
vs
consider
that
we
haue
them
from
God
alone
,
that
God
giueth
vs
our
policie
,
that
God
giueth
vs
our
wit
,
that
God
giueth
vs
our
learning
,
that
hée
alone
giueth
vs
our
riches
,
our
wealth
,
and
all
other
felicitie
that
wée
haue
in
this
life
.
O
then
let
vs
not
take
these
great
gifts
of
God
in
vaine
,
let
vs
not
take
these
graces
of
his
in

.
Let
our
liues
so
shine
before
men
,
that
they

DEerely
beleued
in
our
Lord
and
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
,
This
Epistle
,
or
letter
of
Saint
Paul
,
written
vnto
the
Romans
,
is
diuided
into
two
seuerall
parts
.
In
the
first
part
,
Saint
Paul
instructeth
and
telleth
them
of
the
beginning
of
their
religion
,
of
the
foundation
of
their
faith
,
of
the
grace
whereunto
they
are
called
by
the
merits
and
death
of
Iesus
Christ
.
And
,
for
because
he
saw
and
well
perceiued
,
that
euen
such
of
the
Romans
,
who
had
receiued
the
faith
,
to
bée
farce
from
the
works
of
the
faith
,
and
the
profession
of
the
gospel
of
Christ
,
therefore
he
instructeth
them
that
they
know
the
testament
of
Christ
,
that
they
know
the
couenant
of
their
saluation
:
and
that
they
should
remember
,
that
where
before
time
they
were
strangers
from
God
,
cleane
without
any
promise
of
grace
,
enemies
vnto
God
,
and
the
children
of
perdition
,
were
now
called
vnto
God
,
were
become
the
sons
of
Abraham
,
Gods
deere
friends
,
and
the
children
of
adoption
:
and
this
not
of
any
desert
of
theirs
,
not
by
any
merit
of
their
owne
,
but
onely
through
the
great
grace
,
and
méere
mercy
of
Iesus
Christ
.
For
the
whole
world
was
couered
vnder
wickednesse
,
the
whole
world
,
I
say
,
the
Iewes
onely
excepted
,
was
ouerwhelmed
in
sinne
,
and
had
no
promise
at
all
of
any
saluation
by
God
.
But
yet
when
Christ
Iesus
the
Sauiour
of
all
the
world
appeared
,
and
the
Iewes
would
not
acknowledge
him
their
redéemer
,
it
pleased
God
by
him
to
saue
the
whole
world
,
and
call
vnto
his
grace
aswel
the
Gentile
as
the
Iew
,
the
vncircumcised
as
the
circumcised
:
and
this
did
he
onely
of
his
infinit
and
great
goodnesse
.
And
therefore
Saint
Paul
in
the
conclusion
hereof
,
crieth
out
,
and
saith
,
O
the
deepnesse
of
the
aboundant
wisedome
and
knowledge
of
God
,
how
vnsearchable
are
his
iudgements
,
and
his
wayes
past
finding
out
!
Who
knoweth
the
mind
of
the
Lord
?
who
was
his
Counsellor
?
Who
hath
giuen
vnto
him
first
,
that
hee
might
bee
recompensed
againe
?
And
therefore
hée
concludeth
thus
:
Quia
in
illo
,
ex
illo
,
&
per
illum
omnia
,
illi
omnis
honor
&
gloria
:
For
of
him
,
through
him
,
and
for
him
are
all
things
:
to
him
therefore
bee
glorie
for
euer
.
Thus
doth
Saint
Paule
conclude
the
first
part
,
to
know
the
couenant
of
their
saluation
,
to
know
the
greatnesse
of
Gods
mercie
,
whereunto
they
are
called
,
and
to
giue
the
prayse
and
thankes
therefore
to
him
alone
.
In
the
second
part
,
which
I
now
handle
,
hee
instructeth
them
of
a
vertuous
life
,
of
honest
conuersation
,
and
vpright
liuing
among
all
men
.
For
it
is
not
enough
to
change
our
Religion
,
it
is
not
sufficient
to
alter
our
faith
,
but
we
must
also
change
our
old
life
,
wee
must
walke
in
newnesse
of
life
,
we
must
walke
in
holinesse
,
wee
must
walke
as
becommeth
the
professors
of
a
new
Religion
,
as
becommeth
them
that
are
of
a
right
faith
,
as
becometh
all
such
as
confesse
God
and
his
Gospel
.
And
therfore
S.
Paul
writing
vnto
the
Hebrews
saith
;
Seeing
that
we
by
the
means
of
the
bloud
of
Iesus
haue
libertie
to
enter
into
the
holy
place
,
let
vs
draw
nigh
with
a
true
heart
in
a
sure
faith
,
let
vs
prouoke
vnto
loue
and
to
good
workes
.
So
in
another
place
he
saith
;
You
were
sometimes
darknesse
,
but
now
ye
are
light
in
the
Lord
,
walke
therfore
as
becommeth
the
children
of
light
:
So
God
himselfe
when
he
had
chosen
the
Iewes
to
be
his
people
,
and
them
alone
amongst
all
other
Nations
to
worship
him
,
said
;
O
Israel
,
what
is
it
that
I
require
or
seek
for
at
thy
hands
,
but
that
thou
loue
mee
,
and
keepe
my
commandements
:
This
is
the
onely
thing
that
I
would
haue
you
to
doe
,
that
you
kéepe
my
Law
and
walke
in
my
Precepts
.
Therefore
Saint
Paule
himselfe
also
,
after
hee
had
declared
and
set
forth
at
large
,
the
great
goodnesse
and
mercie
of
God
,
he
said
,
I
beseech
you
,
that
yee
make
your
bodies
a
quicke
and
liuely
Sacrifice
,
holy
and
acceptable
vnto
God
,
which
is
,
your
reasonable
seruing
of
God
.
Renew
your
spirits
,
make
your selues
new
harts
,
that
it
may
shew
and
appeare
in
you
,
that
you
are
reconciled
vnto
GOD
,
that
you
are
the
children
of
adoption
,
and
professours
of
Gods
holy
name
.
Therfore
bee
not
high
minded
,
bee
not
wise
in
your
owne
opinions
:
recompence
no
man
euill
for
euill
:
prouide
aforehand
things
honest
in
the
sight
of
all
men
:
and
if
it
bee
possible
,
haue
peace
with
all
men
.
Marke
well
my
brethren
these
words
by
the
way
,
If
it
be
possible
haue
peace
with
all
men
.
Christ
,
though
hee
was
the
author
so
peace
,
and
the
true
peace
it selfe
,
yet
could
he
not
haue
peace
with
all
men
.
Non
veni
pacem
mitt●re
in
terras
,
sed
bellum
,
I
am
not
come
(
saith
Christ
)
to
send
peace
into
the
world
,
but
war
and
dissention
:
for
from
hence
forth
there
shall
be
fiue
in
one
house
diuided
,
three
against
two
,
and
two
against
three
.
The
Father
against
the
Son
,
and
the
Son
against
the
Father
.
The
mother
against
the
daughter
,
and
the
daughter
against
the
mother
.
The
peace
of
the
world
is
no
peace
with
God
:
the
loue
of
this
world
is
no
loue
before
God
.
So
the
Patriarches
and
the
Prophets
,
though
they
were
men
of
peace
,
yet
could
they
haue
no
peace
in
this
world
.
And
therefore
Saint
Paule
here
saith
,
If
it
bee
possible
,
as
much
as
in
you
shall
lye
,
haue
peace
with
all
all
men
,
bee
in
vnitie
and
loue
with
all
manner
of
men
.
This
thing
,
my
brethren
,
I
haue
put
you
in
remembrance
of
by
the
way
.
But
that
S.
Paule
should
thus
doe
,
that
he
should
exhort
the
Romanes
,
as
he
here
doth
,
that
they
become
not
high
minded
,
nor
wise
in
their
owne
opinions
,
nor
recompence
no
man
euill
for
euill
,
and
that
they
should
,
if
it
were
possible
,
haue
peace
with
all
men
,
good
cause
there
was
,
there
was
,
I
say
,
good
cause
,
why
he
should
thus
doe
.
For
there
were
at
the
same
time
in
Rome
,
a
great
number
both
of
Iewes
and
Gentiles
,
and
amongst
them
there
was
great
strife
and
diuision
.
The
Iewes
on
the
one
side
estéemed
not
the
Gentils
:
the
Gentiles
on
the
other
side
despised
the
Iewes
.
Thus
betwéene
them
the
people
were
diuided
,
and
rent
into
dissention
:
thus
betwéene
them
the
whole
people
oftentimes
were
readie
to
fal
together
by
the
eares
:
and
thus
thorough
them
,
were
they
at
such
great
contention
and
strife
that
they
that
were
brethren
would
not
vouchsafe
to
commune
,
&
talke
together
:
they
that
before
were
linked
in
such
loue
and
vnited
together
,
that
one
would
die
for
the
other
,
could
not
then
one
abide
another
:
and
such
as
were
friends
,
became
open
enemies
.
And
this
came
to
passe
onely
through
pride
.
Pride
was
the
cause
that
such
as
were
brethren
fell
out
one
with
another
:
pride
was
the
cause
that
such
as
should
haue
died
one
for
another
,
could
not
one
abide
another
:
pride
was
the
cause
that
such
as
before-time
were
friends
,
became
then
open
enemies
.
The
Iewes
on
the
one
part
were
proud
,
for
that
they
were
the
children
of
Abraham
,
They
all
thinke
one
thing
,
that
they
bee
of
like
affection
one
towards
another
:
that
they
bee
not
high
minded
,
nor
wise
in
their
owne
opinions
.
For
pride
it
is
that
breaketh
all
loue
,
and
pride
it
is
that
breedeth
all
dissention
.
There
was
neuer
yet
diuision
,
there
was
neuer
any
discord
or
dissention
,
but
Pride
was
the
first
cause
and
authour
thereof
.
Lucifer
,
that
sometime
was
an
Angell
of
GOD
,
set
himselfe
against
GOD
,
and
said
;
Exaltabo
me
super
Aquilonem
,
&
ero
similis
Altissimo
,
I
will
get
mee
vp
aboue
the
North
Pole
,
I
will
sit
aboue
the
clouds
,
and
I
will
bee
like
vnto
the
most
highest
.
And
this
did
hee
,
for
that
hee
swelled
with
pride
.
And
therefore
was
he
throwen
downe
,
onely
for
this
great
pride
of
his
was
hee
cast
into
vtter
darknesse
,
and
déepe
dungeon
of
hell
.
Coral●
,
The
Iewes
themselues
,
which
had
professed
the
Gospell
of
Christ
in
Saint
Paules
time
,
were
diuided
;
and
some
of
them
said
;
I
stand
with
Paule
,
some
other
said
;
I
hold
with
Apollo
,
and
so
were
drawen
on
either
side
.
And
this
did
they
onely
thorough
pride
.
But
alas
,
saith
Saint
Paule
,
Is
Christ
diuided
?
both
Paule
and
Apollo
preach
one
and
the
same
Christ
vnto
you
,
they
teach
you
all
one
Gospell
,
is
Christ
then
diuided
amongst
you
?
So
likewise
some
of
them
,
which
professed
Christs
Gospell
(
because
all
meats
&
drinks
were
indifferent
vnto
them
,
And
thus
pride
,
euen
amongst
such
as
professed
Christ
and
his
Gospell
,
brake
the
loue
and
vnitie
which
should
haue
béene
amongst
them
that
liued
vnder
the
Gospel
.
Pride
it
was
that
caused
the
Iewes
to
hate
the
Gentiles
,
and
the
Gentiles
to
despise
the
Iewes
.
Pride
it
was
that
caused
Lucifer
so
much
to
exalt
himselfe
,
and
make
himselfe
egall
with
God
.
Pride
it
was
that
caused
Corah
,
Dathan
,
and
Abiram
,
to
conspire
against
Moses
and
Aaron
.
Pride
it
was
that
caused
such
as
could
indifferently
eate
all
meats
,
to
thinke
them selues
more
perfit
than
such
as
could
not
so
do
.
Pride
it
was
againe
,
that
caused
the
other
which
could
not
indifferently
vse
all
meats
,
to
thinke
them selues
more
holie
than
the
rest
.
Therefore
in
this
place
S.
Paul
willeth
the
Romans
for
auoyding
of
all
dissention
,
first
to
put
away
all
pride
,
which
is
the
verie
roote
and
mother
of
all
discord
.
Be
not
high
minded
,
said
he
,
for
so
shall
you
abate
this
rancour
and
malice
among
you
,
but
humble
your selues
,
humble
your
courage
;
be
not
proud
of
your
wit
,
of
your
great
learning
,
of
your
eloquence
,
but
make
your selues
egall
to
them
of
the
lower
sort
.
This
is
the
golden
chaine
of
humilitie
.
For
like
as
pride
is
the
mother
of
all
wickednesse
,
so
is
humilitie
the
mother
of
all
vertue
:
like
as
pride
maketh
vs
like
vnto
Lucifer
,
so
humilitie
maketh
vs
like
vnto
Christ
.
Therfore
Christ
him selfe
,
when
he
first
gaue
his
Disciples
charge
for
to
preach
,
when
he
first
gaue
them
in
commandment
vpon
the
mount
,
to
publish
abroad
his
Gospell
,
quoniam
ipsorum
est
regnum
caelorum
,
Blessed
are
the
poore
,
for
theirs
is
the
kingdome
of
God
.
And
again
,
Beati
mites
,
and
why
so
?
quoniam
ipsi
possid●bunt
terram
,
Blessed
are
the
meeke
,
for
they
shall
inherite
the
earth
.
So
again
,
to
his
Disciples
he
said
,
Discite
ex
me
,
quia
ego
mitis
sum
,
Learne
ye
of
me
,
for
I
am
meeke
,
I
am
gentle
,
learn
this
of
me
said
Christ
.
Paul
,
Hic
sensus
sit
in
vobis
,
qui
fuit
in
Christo
,
Let
the
same
mind
be
in
you
,
that
was
also
in
Christ
Iesus
:
which
when
he
was
egall
with
God
,
yet
neuerthelesse
made
himselfe
of
no
reputation
,
&
humbled
himself
vnto
death
,
euen
the
death
of
the
Crosse
.
So
Dauid
,
notwithstanding
he
was
a
King
,
a
Prophet
,
and
a
man
chosen
,
euen
according
to
the
heart
of
God
,
yet
he
humbled
himselfe
,
&
said
,
Non
ambulaui
in
magnis
,
nequè
in
mirabilibus
super
me
▪
I
am
not
high
minded
,
I
haue
no
proud
lookes
,
I
do
not
exercise
my selfe
in
great
matters
,
which
are
too
high
for
me
.
Paul
,
God
hath
chosen
the
foolish
things
of
this
world
,
that
by
them
he
may
be
able
to
confound
the
wise
:
he
hath
chosen
the
weake
things
,
that
thorough
them
he
may
subdue
the
strong
.
Thus
God
vseth
humble
&
lowly
things
,
Paul
,
Ex
ore
infantium
et
lactantium
perfecists
laudem
tuam
:
Out
of
the
mouth
of
verie
babes
&
sucklins
hast
thou
made
perfit
thy
praise
,
euen
by
the
mouths
of
infants
&
sucking
babes
thou
hast
ordeined
strength
,
and
spred
abroad
the
glory
of
thy
name
.
So
Paul
,
notwithstanding
he
was
a
great
learned
man
,
and
skilfull
in
the
Lawes
among
the
Iewes
,
yet
he
bragged
not
,
nor
boasted
of
his
great
knowledge
he
had
,
but
he
humbled
himselfe
,
Ego
me
arbitror
nihil
scere
nisi
Christum
,
&
eum
quidem
crucifixum
:
I
thinke
thus
of
my selfe
,
that
I
know
nothing
,
saue
Iesus
Christ
,
euen
the
same
that
was
crucified
,
other
knowledge
haue
I
none
to
auaunt
my selfe
of
said
S.
Paul
.
And
vpon
this
foundation
of
humility
,
it
pleased
almightie
God
,
at
the
first
to
erect
&
build
his
holie
Church
,
vpon
his
Apostles
,
I
say
,
who
were
the
very
paterns
of
méeknesse
,
it
séemed
good
vnto
God
to
build
his
holy
Church
.
And
after
them
such
as
were
of
the
congregation
of
Christ
,
such
as
professed
the
name
of
Christ
,
were
not
proud
men
,
were
not
men
of
haut
courage
,
nor
high
minded
.
And
therefore
,
as
we
read
in
the
Acts
of
the
Apostles
,
Erat
illis
cor
vnum
,
&
anima
vna
,
They
were
all
of
one
heart
,
and
one
mind
together
.
So
at
the
beginning
,
the
Disciples
of
Christ
were
poore
in
spirit
,
and
therefore
were
they
méet
to
inherite
the
kingdome
of
Heauen
:
they
were
méeke
in
heart
,
&
humble
of
mind
,
and
therefore
were
they
méet
to
possesse
the
earth
:
they
learned
at
Christ
to
be
méeke
and
lowlie
,
they
had
the
same
sence
in
them
that
was
in
Christ
,
and
therfore
they
humbled
them selues
vnto
death
:
they
were
counted
the
foolish
things
of
the
earth
,
therefore
were
they
méet
instruments
to
confound
the
wisdome
of
the
world
:
they
were
counted
the
weake
things
,
&
therefore
were
they
méet
to
ouercome
the
mightie
.
The
Babes
were
méeke
&
lowlie
,
and
therefore
were
they
méet
to
spred
abroad
the
glorie
of
God
.
Saint
Paul
of
all
his
learning
thought
that
he
knew
nothing
,
so
much
he
humbled
himselfe
:
and
therefore
was
he
méete
to
be
an
Apostle
of
Christ
,
and
Preacher
of
his
Gospell
.
There
is
a
storie
,
or
rather
a
fable
,
writen
of
S.
Anthonie
;
whether
you
take
it
as
a
storie
,
or
a
fable
,
I
much
recke
not
,
but
it
serueth
well
for
this
purpose
,
it
is
thus
.
Saint
Anthonie
on
a
time
lay
in
a
traunce
,
and
as
he
so
lay
,
he
looked
downe
from
Heauen
,
(
as
he
thought
)
&
saw
all
the
whole
earth
so
thicke
couered
with
snares
,
that
possible
it
was
not
for
any
man
to
tread
vpon
the
earth
,
and
not
be
intangled
therewithall
:
and
this
when
he
beheld
,
suddeinly
he
cried
out
,
and
said
,
O
Lord
,
and
who
can
then
walke
on
the
earth
,
and
not
be
intrapped
?
with
that
he
heard
a
voice
that
answered
him
,
and
said
,
Sola
humilitas
,
Only
humilitie
it
is
,
said
that
voice
,
that
may
go
,
and
not
be
intangled
;
only
Humilitie
,
and
nothing
else
.
Who
so
is
Humble
,
he
may
walke
without
daunger
,
he
may
go
and
not
be
taken
.
This
is
written
that
S.
Anthonie
should
sée
,
and
heare
in
his
traunce
.
But
Dauid
,
the
prophet
of
God
,
saith
in
déed
,
Sacrificium
Deo
spiritus
contritus
,
The
contrite
and
humble
heart
,
is
a
sacrifice
vnto
God
,
the
méeke
and
lowlie
heart
is
a
swéet
and
acceptable
Sacrifice
vnto
God
,
saith
the
prophet
Dauid
.
So
againe
,
in
another
place
,
Deus
humilia
respicit
,
&
alia
à
longè
prospicit
,
God
hath
regard
to
the
humble
and
lowlie
,
and
as
for
the
proud
,
he
beholdeth
them
a
far
off
.
Esaie
also
,
or
rather
God
by
his
Prophet
Esaie
saith
,
Super
quem
r●quiescet
spiritus
meus
,
nisi
super
humilem
?
Vpon
whom
shall
my
spirit
rest
,
saith
God
,
But
vpon
the
humble
and
meeke
?
for
otherwise
,
Paul
,
Qui
inflatur
,
cadit
,
He
that
is
puffed
vp
with
pride
,
falleth
into
the
hands
of
the
Deuill
.
Thus
,
(
good
Bretheren
)
humilitie
preserueth
the
Church
of
God
,
humilitie
vphouldeth
all
good
Common
weales
.
Pride
it
is
that
scattereth
the
Church
of
God
,
pride
ouerthroweth
all
good
Common
weales
.
There
was
yet
neuer
pride
in
any
Citie
without
dissention
,
nor
dissention
that
continued
without
destruction
of
the
whole
Common
weale
.
Ye
shall
neuer
read
in
any
record
,
eyther
of
Citie
,
Kingdome
,
or
Common
weale
,
but
that
,
if
pride
raigned
therein
,
there
consequentlie
followed
dissention
,
and
of
dissention
insued
the
ouerthrow
of
the
same
.
In
the
Citie
of
Rome
,
which
was
called
the
Ladie
of
the
whole
world
,
there
were
two
that
tooke
vpon
them
the
gouernance
of
the
Empire
,
Iulius
Caesar
,
and
Pompey
.
Iulius
Caesar
was
a
man
of
so
haught
courage
,
that
he
could
abide
no
péere
,
Pompey
was
of
such
an
high
mynd
,
that
hée
could
suffer
no
man
to
be
his
egall
.
And
thus
for
dominion
,
stroue
these
two
together
:
and
thus
thorough
their
dissention
,
was
not
onlie
the
whole
Citie
,
but
the
kingdome
it selfe
brought
to
destruction
.
The
state
of
the
Gretians
,
which
then
chiefly
aboue
other
florished
,
because
it
was
diuided
,
came
to
vtter
confusion
.
But
what
speake
I
of
these
?
what
speak
I
of
Rome
,
and
the
state
of
the
Gretians
.
Who
is
there
that
hath
not
heard
of
Ierusalem
,
Ierusalem
I
say
,
that
great
City
,
that
same
Towne
that
God
had
chosen
to
him selfe
,
euen
that
same
Towne
wherein
God
would
haue
his
Temple
erected
,
and
his
holie
name
honored
,
after
that
the
Rulers
thereof
began
to
be
diuided
,
after
that
the
Magistrats
fell
to
discord
,
and
each
man
would
be
a
Captaine
,
and
no
man
would
be
ruled
:
then
came
the
enemies
in
,
then
was
it
besieged
,
then
was
the
Mother
for
verie
famine
constreined
to
eat
her
owne
childe
,
then
was
it
vtterly
destroyed
,
and
no
one
stone
left
vpon
an
other
;
and
which
was
most
miserable
,
there
were
slaine
in
that
Citie
xj
.
hundred
thousand
people
,
and
the
verie
chanels
in
the
stréets
ran
all
with
blood
.
Thus
miserably
was
it
ouerthrowen
,
and
in
such
wretched
estate
were
the
whole
people
thereof
:
and
this
only
came
to
passe
,
thorough
pride
and
dissention
.
And
this
was
it
that
Esaie
long
time
before
prophesied
of
,
and
said
,
Then
shall
the
whole
Countrey
be
scattered
,
when
the
people
once
conspire
against
their
Princes
.
And
therefore
also
an
old
writter
,
Petrus
Lilius
saith
,
Discord
is
the
only
cause
of
the
ouerthrow
of
Kingdomes
;
Diuision
is
the
onlie
cause
that
great
Empires
can
not
stand
;
Dissention
maketh
two
kingdomes
of
one
;
Dissention
maketh
of
two
Cities
one
,
and
at
length
it
maketh
of
two
kingdomes
,
no
kingdome
,
of
two
Cities
,
no
Citie
.
This
writeth
Petrus
Lilius
,
of
Dissention
,
this
is
the
end
of
Discord
sayth
he
,
and
in
déed
experience
hath
taught
that
this
is
most
true
.
But
wherefore
speake
I
of
these
things
?
wherefore
do
I
here
repeat
vnto
you
these
old
and
auncient
histories
?
why
recount
I
vnto
you
the
ouerthrow
of
Rome
?
the
destruction
of
the
Gretians
?
the
desolation
of
Ierusalem
?
which
all
hapned
thorough
Diuision
.
I
would
to
God
I
saw
nothing
euen
now
before
mine
eyes
,
that
causeth
mée
thus
to
say
;
I
would
to
God
,
I
say
,
that
I
saw
now
nothing
present
before
mine
eyes
,
that
causeth
me
thus
to
say
.
But
these
examples
,
(
my
Bretheren
)
God
hath
placed
before
our
eyes
,
that
we
might
take
heed
by
them
,
that
we
might
the
better
looke
to
our selues
,
and
beware
of
our
owne
destruction
.
Christ
hath
said
,
Christ
that
is
the
author
of
Trueth
,
and
trueth
it selfe
,
Ciuitas
diuisa
,
desolabitur
,
The
Citie
that
is
diuided
,
be
it
neuer
so
rich
,
neuer
so
strong
,
neuer
of
so
great
force
,
yet
,
shall
it
be
destroied
,
it
shall
be
brought
to
vtter
desolation
.
Rome
,
that
sometime
was
the
wealthyest
Citie
in
the
world
,
&
called
therefore
the
Ladie
of
the
whole
world
,
fell
to
diuision
:
and
therefore
was
shée
ouerthrowen
,
and
vtterly
destroyed
.
The
Gretians
,
which
were
a
people
of
greatest
force
,
fell
to
dissention
:
and
therefore
was
their
whole
estate
pulled
down
,
and
cast
flat
to
the
ground
.
Ierusalem
,
that
holie
Citie
,
that
Citie
that
was
so
strong
,
fell
a
sunder
,
fell
at
discord
within
it selfe
:
and
therefore
was
shée
spoiled
of
her
enemyes
,
and
brought
to
desolation
.
Remember
,
(
good
Bretheren
)
remember
with
your selues
,
how
can
that
Ship
which
saileth
in
the
Sea
,
be
safe
in
the
middest
of
the
waues
,
if
the
people
within
the
same
boore
holes
thorough
it
,
or
rent
vp
the
ribs
of
the
same
?
How
can
that
Citie
be
preserued
,
where
no
man
will
heare
counsell
,
where
no
man
careth
for
the
publike
state
,
where
no
man
passeth
for
other
,
where
God
is
not
in
the
middest
?
Deus
charitas
est
saith
S.
Iohn
,
&
qui
in
charitate
est
,
in
Deo
man●t
,
God
is
charitie
,
and
he
that
dwelleth
in
charitie
,
dwelleth
in
God
.
O
,
saith
Salomon
,
Turris
fortissima
nomen
Domini
,
The
name
of
the
Lord
is
a
strong
Tower
:
The
name
of
God
saueth
the
Citie
.
Nisi
Dominus
custodierit
ciuitatem
,
in
vanum
laborant
qui
custodiunt
eam
:
Except
the
Lord
keep
the
Citie
,
except
the
Lord
defend
it
,
saith
he
,
they
labour
in
vaine
,
they
watch
in
vaine
that
are
set
to
defend
it
.
These
things
,
(
good
Bretheren
)
appertaine
both
to
our
office
that
are
Ministers
,
and
appointed
by
God
to
instruct
the
people
,
and
they
appertaine
also
vnto
all
Magistrats
,
yea
and
vnto
the
whole
people
.
As
for
vs
that
are
Gods
Ministers
,
and
messengers
sent
vnto
you
,
we
do
stand
vpon
the
Tower
to
crie
,
and
giue
you
warning
that
the
enemies
are
comming
,
to
shew
you
before
hand
that
your
foes
are
approching
:
our
part
is
to
declare
vnto
you
,
that
your
fight
is
not
against
King
,
nor
Caesar
,
is
not
against
any
Prince
or
power
of
this
world
,
but
against
spirituall
enemyes
,
against
the
Deuill
and
his
adherents
:
our
part
is
to
dissuade
you
from
dissention
,
to
dissuade
you
from
discord
and
diuision
.
This
must
we
do
aswell
to
the
Magistrat
,
as
to
the
rest
of
the
people
:
aswell
to
him
that
beareth
office
,
as
to
him
that
beareth
none
.
For
,
we
are
debtors
vnto
all
men
,
&
quàm
iocundum
,
habitare
fratres
in
vnum
,
O
how
ioyfull
a
thing
is
it
,
for
Bretheren
to
dwell
together
in
vnitie
.
So
much
it
comforted
him
,
so
glad
was
he
when
he
saw
his
people
agrée
together
.
Therefore
in
the
Scriptures
the
Magistrates
are
called
Shepheards
,
He
that
is
called
to
beare
Office
,
what
euer
hee
be
that
is
appointed
to
be
a
Ruler
,
shall
first
write
out
all
this
Booke
of
my
Law
with
his
owne
hand
.
And
againe
,
he
said
,
Non
recedet
liber
iste
ab
ore
tuo
,
This
Booke
of
mine
shal
not
dcpart
from
thy
mouth
,
this
Booke
of
mine
shall
not
be
out
of
thy
hand
.
This
is
Gods
charge
to
all
them
that
beare
office
,
this
is
his
charge
and
commaundment
giuen
vnto
them
.
Therefore
that
good
king
Dauid
,
when
God
had
appointed
him
to
be
king
and
chiefe
Ruler
of
his
people
,
Si
dedero
oculis
meis
somnum
,
aut
palpebris
meis
requiem
antequàm
inn●uero
domum
Domino
meo
,
&
Tabernaculum
Deo
Iacob
.
If
I
shall
giue
my selfe
vnto
sleepe
,
or
mine
eye
lids
any
rest
,
before
that
I
find
out
a
house
for
my
God
,
and
a
Tabernacle
for
the
God
of
Iacob
&c.
as
who
would
say
,
I
will
neuer
studie
myne
owne
matters
,
I
will
neuer
go
about
mine
owne
businesse
,
before
I
haue
established
the
matters
of
my
God
,
and
the
businesse
of
the
God
of
Iacob
.
Therfore
in
like
maner
Ezechias
,
That
he
asmuch
cared
for
the
preseruation
of
Gods
Church
,
as
he
did
for
the
safegard
of
his
owne
Soule
.
And
thus
,
look
what
care
Dauid
the
prophet
of
God
had
ouer
Gods
people
:
looke
what
care
that
vertuous
king
Ezechias
had
:
looke
what
care
that
good
and
godlie
Emperor
Iustinian
had
,
the
same
,
and
the
like
ought
euery
good
Magistrate
to
haue
:
as
Dauid
,
Ezechias
,
and
Iustinian
did
,
so
should
euery
good
and
godlie
officer
doe
:
hée
must
not
giue
himselfe
vnto
sléep
,
nor
his
eye
lids
vnto
rest
,
before
he
hath
prouided
a
Temple
for
the
God
of
Iacob
:
he
must
not
go
home
vnto
his
owne
house
,
before
that
he
hath
purged
Gods
Church
:
he
must
haue
as
great
respect
to
the
saluation
of
Gods
flocke
,
as
he
hath
regard
to
the
safegard
of
his
owne
Soule
:
he
must
remember
that
his
chaire
is
Gods
chaire
,
that
his
sword
is
Gods
sword
.
Now
(
good
Bretheren
)
it
behooueth
you
of
your
part
,
to
put
away
all
hatred
,
to
abolish
from
him
all
pride
,
dissention
,
all
discord
,
and
to
honor
the
Magistrate
,
to
follow
you
your
Shepheard
,
as
the
shéepe
do
their
shepheard
:
to
ioy
in
him
your
Captaine
,
as
the
Souldiers
reioyce
in
their
Captaine
:
to
be
gouerned
by
him
your
head
,
as
the
members
of
the
bodie
are
ruled
by
the
head
:
and
lastly
,
so
to
be
in
subiection
vnto
him
,
as
the
childe
is
in
obedience
and
subiection
to
his
father
.
And
so
shall
there
then
be
,
both
a
godlie
Magistrat
,
so
shall
there
be
godlie
people
,
and
so
shall
there
be
a
godlie
Realme
.
Now
let
vs
here
thinke
that
Saint
Paule
speaketh
these
words
vnto
vs
(
as
indéed
he
speaketh
them
vnto
vs
,
if
we
are
,
or
will
be
called
Christians
)
vnto
vs
,
he
saith
;
Bee
not
high
minded
,
vnto
vs
he
saith
;
Bee
not
wise
in
your
owne
opinions
:
vnto
vs
he
saith
;
Recompence
no
man
euill
for
euill
:
vnto
vs
he
saith
,
If
it
bee
possible
haue
peace
with
all
men
.
O
then
,
why
are
wee
of
such
proud
hearts
?
Why
are
wee
high
minded
?
Why
are
we
wise
in
our
own
opinions
?
Why
recompence
wee
euill
for
euill
?
Why
séeke
we
reuengement
?
why
agrée
not
we
together
?
O
by
whose
name
shall
I
cal
you
?
I
would
I
might
call
you
brethren
:
but
alas
,
this
heart
of
yours
is
not
brotherly
.
I
would
I
might
call
you
Christians
:
but
alas
,
you
are
no
Christians
.
I
know
not
by
what
name
I
shall
call
you
:
for
if
you
were
Brethren
,
you
wold
loue
as
Brethren
:
if
you
were
Christians
,
you
would
agrée
as
Christians
.
Christ
said
vnto
his
disciples
,
and
so
by
them
to
all
such
as
professe
his
name
;
I
giue
you
a
new
commandement
,
said
Christ
,
that
you
loue
together
euen
as
I
haue
loued
you
.
By
this
token
,
by
this
cognusance
of
mine
shal
men
know
you
to
be
my
Disciples
,
if
you
loue
together
as
I
haue
loued
you
.
Let
vs
looke
well
vpon
our selues
,
let
vs
behold
our selues
well
:
alas
,
this
badge
,
this
cognisance
is
gone
,
this
peace
that
Christ
left
vnto
vs
,
is
not
to
be
found
amongst
vs
.
O
yée
that
sometime
were
brethren
,
but
now
mortall
enemies
,
ye
that
sometime
ware
this
Badge
,
this
cognisance
of
Christs
peace
,
which
now
yée
haue
cast
from
you
,
O
how
long
will
you
follow
vanitie
,
how
long
will
yée
dwell
in
dissention
?
I
haue
done
my
part
,
I
haue
called
you
to
peace
,
I
haue
called
you
to
loue
,
I
haue
called
you
to
vnitie
:
doe
you
now
your
parts
,
do
you
ensue
after
peace
,
loue
you
each
other
,
continue
yée
in
vnitie
together
.
I
haue
not
the
keyes
of
your
hearts
,
I
am
not
able
to
loose
and
open
those
stonie
hearts
of
yours
:
God
make
you
al
one
,
God
mollifie
you
hearts
,
God
make
you
friends
,
God
graunt
you
to
loue
as
brethren
together
.
Let
vs
lay
aside
this
pride
of
our
heart
,
let
vs
not
bee
wise
in
our
owne
opinions
,
let
vs
not
requite
euill
with
euill
,
let
vs
,
as
much
as
may
bee
,
haue
peace
with
all
men
.
Alas
,
it
is
no
great
thing
that
I
require
of
you
:
I
require
onely
your
loue
,
I
require
your
friendship
one
towards
another
,
I
aske
no
more
but
that
your
hearts
bee
ioyned
in
mutuall
loue
and
vnitie
together
.
Alas
,
it
is
a
thing
that
soone
may
bee
granted
of
such
as
pray
together
of
such
as
haue
one
heauenly
Father
,
of
such
as
are
partakers
of
Christs
holy
Sacraments
,
of
such
as
professe
Christ
,
and
will
bee
called
Christians
.
O
how
can
we
pray
our
Heauenly
father
to
forgiue
vs
,
if
we
will
not
forgiue
our
brother
wherein
hee
trespasseth
against
vs
.
How
can
wee
with
cleere
conscience
come
vnto
the
holy
Communion
,
and
bee
partakers
of
Christs
most
holy
bodie
and
bloud
,
if
wee
are
not
in
charitie
with
our
owne
neighbour
?
Let
vs
therefore
lay
aside
all
discord
without
hipocrisie
,
let
vs
lay
apart
all
malice
without
dissimulation
,
let
vs
all
ioyne
together
in
brotherly
loue
,
let
vs
all
be
of
like
affection
one
towards
another
,
let
vs
not
bee
high
minded
,
but
let
vs
make
our selues
equall
to
them
of
the
lower
sort
.
So
shall
wee
make
our
bodies
a
quick
and
liuely
Sacrifice
,
so
shall
wee
make
them
holy
and
acceptable
vnto
God
,
so
shall
we
bee
reconciled
vnto
God
,
and
God
reconciled
vnto
vs
:
and
finally
,
so
shall
we
which
are
called
Christians
,
be
knowne
to
be
Gods
seruants
and
such
as
professe
the
name
of
Christ
,
if
wee
shal
be
found
to
haue
this
peace
and
brotherly
loue
,
which
is
the
badge
and
cognisance
of
Christ
.
And
so
shall
God
be
ours
,
and
remaine
with
vs
for
euer
.
Amen
.
